Conference To Promote Live TV Production
The growing live TV programming market will be the focus of the inaugural LiveTV:LA conference, to be held Nov. 7 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, Calif.
Presented by TVNewsCheck, Sports Video Group (SVG), and in association with Variety and Variety 411, the day-long event will gather leading executives, producers and production professionals who are involved in TV’s hottest market: live TV.
“More than ever audiences are responding to live content, whether it be award shows, entertainment programs, sports events, or breaking news,” says Ken Kerschbaumer, SVG executive director, editorial services. “This event will provide industry professionals from across those segments the opportunity to learn from each other so they can maximize audience impact while minimizing costs.”
LiveTV:LA will offer insights from, and exclusive one-on-one access to, the industry’s leading production companies and broadcast executives who are at the forefront of today’s live TV-social media revolution.
