NATPE CONFIRMS THE RETURN OF NATPE STREAMING PLUS AS A HYBRID EVENT

The National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) announced the schedule of sessions and first wave of companies confirmed to speak at the third annual NATPE Streaming Plus. After moving to virtual in the wake of the pandemic last year, NATPE Streaming Plus will return as a hybrid event, both in-person and virtually, live from the W Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, California, on September 14, 2021.

The single day event will operate this year under the theme of “Choosing a Streaming Lane,” reflecting on how the industry’s leading streaming platforms are redefining their position based on business or revenue models such as FAST, AVOD, and SVOD, or some combination of these. The programmed keynotes and panel sessions will define the details of what is happening today and tomorrow in streaming media, paving the way for producers, programming execs, promoters, researchers, and media buyers to conduct business together.

Already confirmed companies that are going to take the stage to speak at the NATPE Streaming Plus event are HBO Max, MAG Consulting, Sator, Sinclair Broadcasting Group, Tubi, Univision, and ViacomCBS Streaming, with more to be announced prior to the event.

“Over the five decades that NATPE has stood as a constant in television, we have seen countless innovations that have shifted the way we do business. We are proud to be a home for content. As we move towards third year of Streaming Plus, we are honored to be the go-to event for the evolving streaming industry,”  commented JP Bommel, President and CEO of NATPE.
