Today, the Television Bureau of Advertising (TVB) announced (Alt) Forward 2020, an adaptation of its 11th annual Forward Conference in light of COVID-19 concerns. TVB is producing (Alt) Forward 2020 as a multi-dimensional, virtual experience that will take place on Oct. 1 for local broadcast TV leadership from around the United States.

“TVB is taking a decisive step to go virtual this year to safely provide the first-class content our audience expects from the Forward Conference,” said Steve Lanzano, TVB president-CEO. “We’re calling this year’s event (Alt) Forward 2020 to reflect an alternate approach to delivering top-notch programming for our members and partners, and driving value for our sponsors.”
