Industry expert, producer, Epyllion CEO Matthew Ball will be the opening keynote speaker for the market taking place on January 16-18, 2024.
NATPE Global, the international content industry’s first major market of the year, is proud to announce industry expert, producer and Epyllion CEO Matthew Ball as the opening keynote speaker. The highly anticipated return of NATPE Global will take place January 16 to 18, 2024 at the InterContinental Miami, a large-scale luxury convention venue conveniently located in the heart of the city’s vibrant downtown district.
“Matthew Ball is a creative visionary and we’re honored he’ll be presenting our opening keynote. His insightful views on the state of the global media business landscape, future economics of video content production, monetization, and consumption will provide invaluable intel to the NATPE Global audience,” said Claire Macdonald, Executive Director, NATPE Global. “As the first global marketplace on the content industry’s calendar, NATPE Global is a one-stop shop for entertainment, from concept to delivery.”
The first video stream took place three decades ago, yet we still feel far from streaming’s endpoint. Business and talent models remain in flux, the dawn of mixed reality and AI has only just arrived, and the brands and franchises that once dominated are (finally?) ceding share. Ball’s keynote will address these areas and take a look at what is streaming’s next act.
In addition to prime keynote presentations, the conference and marketplace will feature thought-leadership panel discussions, regional buyer spotlights, exhibition pavilions and suites, screenings, and exclusive networking opportunities. Delegates will have unique and powerful opportunities to build and cultivate the domestic and international relationships that will drive their businesses forward.
With already more than 30 countries represented and over 160 buyers registered, NATPE Global will bring together the most important buyers and sellers of projects in development and catalogue programming as well as decision-makers from the entire media ecosystem spanning content development, licensing, and platform distribution.
Located on prime waterfront in downtown Miami, and just minutes away from South Beach, the Design District and Wynwood’s many galleries, restaurants and boutique shops, NATPE Global’s new home offers contemporary luxury suites, cabanas and 100,000 square feet of exhibition space at flexible levels of entry and scale to offer opportunities for all clients.
