CASBAA to Shine Spotlight on the Philippines

HONG KONG: CASBAA is planning to kick off 2014 with the event Philippines in View, which is scheduled for January 21 at the Edsa Shangri-La in Manila.

Speakers and panelists from across all sectors of the multichannel TV industry will be on hand to discuss the pitfalls and challenges of doing business in the Philippines, while examining how best to take advantage of the opportunities that are present in the market. Additionally, 15 percent of all proceeds from Philippines in View will be donated to the Philippines rebuilding effort following the devastating typhoon Haiyan.

“We are happy to be starting off the New Year in the Philippines, one of the most dynamic markets in the Southeast Asian media landscape,” said Christopher Slaughter, the CEO of CASBAA. “The country offers vast potential for growth for the multichannel TV industry and CASBAA has lined up an impressive roster of speakers and guests to examine the business of pay TV in the Philippines.”
