NBCUniversal’s Matt Schnaars Boards FAST Festival

The FAST Festival, taking place July 25 and 26, has lined up a keynote from Matt Schnaars, president of content distribution for NBCUniversal. You can register for the event here for free.

In this role, Schnaars is responsible for overseeing distribution and monetization of NBCUniversal’s broadcast stations, cable and regional sports networks, direct-to-consumer apps and FAST channels to the company’s distribution partners. He has had a critical role in NBCU’s growth over the past decade, including, most recently, the successful launch of NBCU’s direct-to-consumer service, Peacock.

ONLY those registered will receive access to our Exclusive White Paper on FAST trends, featuring key intel from the event in a compact, easy-to-digest format. See the Exclusive White Paper from the TV Kids Summer Festival here.

It will be streamed live and available on-demand on www.FastFest.tv.
