The National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) announced a completely digital NATPE Miami as well as three new events for 2021.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, NATPE Miami will be entirely online, with the conference programming held from January 19-22 and the marketplace from January 19-29, 2020. The conference programming will feature a full schedule of sessions covering key themes such as revenue, audience, content, and production.
The first of the new events added to the NATPE 2021 calendar is NATPE Segregation, Segmentation & Storytelling, a summit dedicated to the business of Black talent, Black perspectives, and Black “voices” in television programming. It will run on February 16, 2021.
On March 23, 2021, NATPE Sports will focus on the changes and adjustments to the production of live sports content for TV and video in a two-hour, jam-packed event.
Lastly, NATPE News will take place on April 7, 2021. The one-day event will consider how the paradigm of “Fake News,” “disinformation,” and “bots” are disrupting the traditional news cycle.
JP Bommel, president and CEO of NATPE, stated, “True to our mission to provide connections, business intelligence and new opportunities, NATPE is facing head-on the new reality by launching NATPE Virtual Miami, the first and largest content event of the year. This is a people’s business and until we can get together in-person, and we will, our plans are to continue to pivot and produce a compelling and engaging virtual series of events to serve our members and the expanded content community.”
