The Beet Retreat, one of the industry’s most talked about gatherings of high-level media executives, will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Dates are February 5-7. The location is the just-reopened Hilton Caribe.
The event will involve three days of high-level panels, group conversations, one-on-one video interviews and extraordinary networking events and interactions.

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 Theme
The conference will explore how consumer preference is driving the transformation of the TV/premium video business. It will focus on relevance: on what consumers want: What is the value exchange and where is the upside for programmers, distributors and marketers.
The program will explore creative advertising formats and strategies; direct-to-consumer strategies, the best use of data in audience targeting; addressable delivery; and performance measurement. The program will explore developments in the U.S. and worldwide.
Helping Puerto Rico’s Children with the Boys & Girls Club
