Overall, the Summit will present 10 sessions inclusive of two keynote conversations, and several featured fireside chats and panel discussions. There will be conversations featuring leading executives in today’s Hispanic TV and media industry. Conversations are focused on media buying, demographically and culturally specific content, new productions, shared resources in local station groups, attracting Hispanic viewers and content distribution across platforms. Speakers are expected to share current market challenges, present best practices for serving Hispanic viewers and retaining Hispanic subscribers, as well as candidly address the effectiveness of recent content distribution strategies and decisions.
Additionally, the midday presentation of the Annual Hispanic Television Awards will honor Horowitz Research and ESPN Deportes, each with the Rafael Eli Pioneer in Hispanic TV Award, and three other individuals will receive the Award for Leadership in Hispanic TV. They are media exec Isabella Sanchez of HMC and Zubi Media; sports anchor Miguel Gurwitz from Telemundo; and media entrepreneur and activist Tony Hernandez, founder of the Immigrant Archive Project. The awards ceremony is followed by a buffet luncheon fiesta of authentic Caribbean and Mexican cuisines and musical entertainment provided by traditional mariachis.
“Our goal is to produce an event that is fun and informative by balancing the business portion of the summit with fun and celebration,” said Joe Schramm, the producer of the Hispanic TV Summit for all 21 years and President of Schramm Marketing Group. He continued, “that’s why we make sure to add new panelists while also having some of the most popular speakers return from the past. Attendees like to come to learn new things, do a few business deals, while also re-connecting with friends and socializing with colleagues.”
