CASBAA 2016 will take place November 7-10, 2016, in Macau at Studio City.
“It will be the first time CASBAA has ever held an event in Macau, and we are thrilled to be able to bring the region’s pay-TV industry together to experience all that this exciting enclave has to offer,” said CASBAA CEO Christopher Slaughter.
The move is just one of many innovations for the annual industry gathering. “This year, we are making a concerted effort to ensure that all the links in the value chain are present at the Convention,” said co-board member responsible for convention Amit Malhotra, VP & GM Studio Entertainment at The Walt Disney Company.
“In particular, we’re working together to bring a critical mass of operators from across the region to Macau.”
The CASBAA Convention will feature two full days of conference plenary sessions, keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops, networking opportunities, and social activities. Topics will include best business practices, emerging market trends, technological developments, new programming strategies and offerings, and the broadcast regulatory landscape in the region. In addition, the Convention will also feature CASBAA’s annual Policy Roundtable and Executive Roundtable. Both Roundtable events are invitation-only, closed-door forums, dedicated to in-depth discussions among select groups of industry stakeholders.
“With a host of new market entrants, new business models, and ongoing disruption and technological innovation, the industry is embracing change at a deep level,” said Slaughter. “The convention will present a wide array of eminent speakers and panelists to explore various aspects of change at this critical juncture in our industry’s history.”
