NEW YORK, NY (November 7, 2016) — The premiere conference for the television industry, the fourth annual NYC Television & Video Week, drew over 2,400 television industry executives to its five signature events: Virtual Reality 20/20, Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame, Advanced Advertising, Next TV Summit & Expo, and the Hispanic Television Summit.
“Each year the NYC Television & Video Week continues to grow in numbers, quality and content,” states Louis Hillelson, EVP/Group Publisher, Broadcasting & Cable, Multichannel News & Next TV. “Each year we tailor the event to the important issues of the day, making it a vital destination for the entire television industry, including advertising, audience, distribution and production. We are already planning for a bigger and better 2017!”
The 2016 NYC Television and Video Week featured more than 200 speakers, including Amit Singh, VP Business & Operations, Virtual Reality, Google; Jason Farkas, VP of Premium Content Video, CNN; Doug Fleming, Head of Advanced TV, Hulu; Dominic Williamson, Lead, Marketing Science, Facebook; Chad Andrews, Global Solutions Leader, Cloud Video, IBM; Dwayne Benefield, VP, Head of PlayStation Vue, Sony Interactive Entertainment; Eric Conrad, SVP, Sports Programming and Acquisitions, Univision Communications Inc.; and David Stefanou, VP, Development WE tv, to name a few. Award winners included Mountain Dew as the first winner of the Advanced Advertising Leadership Award and Craig Piligian of Piligian Media Group as the winner of the Next TV Innovator of the Year.
In addition to hearing from industry leaders, NYC Television & Video Week proved to be space to network with other attendees. Of the 2,400+ people who attended, nearly 80% of those are decision makers in their companies, which included representatives from NBC Universal, Wall Street Journal, Adweek, Coca-Cola, LinkedIn, NY Times, Nielsen, PepsiCo, Duracell, MasterCard, Nestle Purina and more.
The 26th Annual Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame- the premiere industry event paying tribute to the pioneers, innovators and stars of the electronic arts – took place on the evening of October 18th. Hosted by Norah O’Donnell, co-host of “CBS This Morning” and Emmy award winning writer, formerly the host of “The Nightly Show”, Larry Wilmore, the event was highlighted by the presentation of the Chairman’s Award to Robert Kraft, Chairman & CEO, The Kraft Group/New England Patriots. Since its inception over a quarter century ago, over 400 broadcast industry leaders have been recognized by Broadcasting & Cable magazine.
“We are truly excited about the momentum we have achieved with NYC Television & Video Week” says Steve Palm, CEO of NewBay. “2017 promises to be even bigger and better with new events, more partners and more networking opportunities for our sponsors and attendees”
