Over a thousand executives and business people from the world of television in Israel and overseas are expected to attend the second INTV- Innovation in TV conference, taking place at the Jerusalem YMCA , 4-5 November 2013. Executives from NBC, WBE, HuffPost, TNT, TBS and Hulu, among others, will present at the conference, with the keynote speaker being Bob Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment.

In recent years, Israel has become a new and fresh source of content for the global television industry. Last year, a record number of local formats were acquired for distribution and adaptation throughout the world and specifically in the US. In the evolving TV and New Media (mobile and Internet) worlds - Israel is regarded as a spring broad for ideas and originality in the global industry. As such, there is much interest and much activity from business people within and beyond the field, such as venture capital funds, to create new business relationships, as well as establish and expand upon existing relationships in Israel and abroad, especially with New York.

This unique, international conference on innovation in television and digital media in Israel will bring together leaders of the Israeli industry with leaders of the global, but mainly European and American television industries. The two day event will include key note lectures delivered by international speakers in the field of scripted and non-scripted TV (Day 1) and lectures and panels on Day 2.

In addition, the conference will include the Promaxbda Creative Clinic, led by Kendrick Reid, SVP and Executive Director of brand strategy development for BET Networks, taking place on 5 November.
