NCC Media Presents

It’s Consumer First in TV Land: the #BeetRetreat San Juan

 with DISH Media Sales, Oath:Verizon, Amobee and Google

The Beet Retreat, one of the industry’s most talked about gatherings of high-level media executives, will take place November 28-30 in the San Juan, Puerto Rico at the El San Juan Hotel.

The event will involve three days of high-level panels, group conversations, one-on-one video interviews and extraordinary networking events and interactions.

Part industry enclave and part a made-for-TV setting, the event will provide essential industry intelligence and connections with the people who matter.  For the participants, it will provide exposure via videos on Beet.TV along with high-impact social media. The Retreat will provide unique business development opportunities and enduring professional relationships.

The event is limited to just 50 participants. In addition, there will be 50 special participants – attendees who will network and interact with the group but will not be on stage.  The entire group will not exceed 100.

The Theme:  It’s All About the Consumer

The conference will explore how consumer preference is driving the transformation of the TV/premium video business. It will be about relevance:  What consumers want and what is the value exchange and where is the upside for programmers, distributors and marketers.

The program will explore the creative advertising formats and strategies; the best use of data in audience targeting; the changing state of addressable TV; opportunities on various platforms;  and how impact is measured around performance.  The program will explore developments in the U.S. and worldwide.
