“The entertainment industry is exploding with change, creating new distribution opportunities and innovative ways to monetize content. At the same time, securing early access to new hit programming has never been more competitive or crucial. NATPE Global brings the entire media ecosystem together under one umbrella to do business in the world’s most valuable market for content,” said Russell Goldstein, President and CEO of the event’s new owner, Brunico Communications, when he announced the return of NATPE.
At the heart of NATPE Global is a networking-first approach, offering delegates unique and powerful opportunities to build and cultivate the domestic and international relationships that will drive their businesses forward. Located on prime waterfront in downtown Miami, and just minutes away from South Beach, the Design District and Wynwood’s many galleries, restaurants and boutique shops, NATPE Global’s new home offers contemporary luxury suites, cabanas and 100.000 square feet of exhibition space at flexible levels of entry, and scale to offer opportunities for all clients.
NATPE Global's agenda for this year aims to address current trends and issues across the content ecosystem. For example, NATPE Streaming+ is a dedicated conference strand that digs deep into the most pressing issues and challenges surrounding the OTT business, content and consumer experience to help surface opportunities, solutions and best practices. This powerful series includes keynotes, panel discussions and an opportunity to meet with experts in various aspects of the industry.
Moreover, the “Breakfast With and Lunch With a Decision-Maker” sessions provide a chance to meet with broadcasters, streamers, distributors, producers and development executives in an informal setting. Meanwhile, the NATPE Global Pitch Showcase is an international live pitch event designed for mid-level and established creatives and producers. To see the event’s full agenda, click here.
