Changing perspectives on culture where it counts
On Wednesday, March 25, the day opens with CultureX Conversations over Breakfast, the premiere destination where brands, agencies, producers and programmers can meet with multiplatform content providers to talk about the business of video for audiences who identify by their ethnicity, nationality, language, gender or sexual orientation.
 
Previously known as the Multicultural TV Summit, the program includes five conversations and an award presentation, all hosted by popular on-air talent.  
 
The morning  begins with a one-on-one interview with Michelle Rice, General Manager, TV One & CLEO TV and ends with our Award Presentation which will recognize a business executive for leadership and commitment to the growth of programing for one or more multicultural segments.

Distribution Roundtable Conversation: Picking Platforms – The Quest to Be Where Multicultural Viewers Watch

The CultureX viewer enjoys today’s multi-choice, multi-platform environment - - as long as that content can be delivered to the viewer when and where they want. What are the challenges that today’s programmers are facing that differ from the past? Has technology offered programmers a business opportunity that is finally sustainable, or are they still too small to go beyond “niche” status? The moderated panel will discuss how content providers, brands and programmers are seeking ways to work together towards a more collaborative and profitable future.
