IATAS & ATF Team for International Emmy Award Nominees Showcase

SINGAPORE: The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS) and the Asia Television Forum (ATF) are jointly launching an International Emmy Award Nominees showcase, which will take place at this year’s ATF in Singapore in December.

The current year’s International Emmy Award Nominees will be invited to Asia to speak on a panel and discuss their experiences leading up to their nomination. IATAS will be present on the ATF show floor for the first time this year, with an exclusive International Emmys branded lounge, which will be open to ATF VIPs. The event will take place December 4 to 7 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

“We’re looking forward to showcasing and celebrating the best television from Asia each year, at ATF,” said Bruce L. Paisner, the Academy’s president and CEO. “The Emmy award is the preeminent global television award and nominees are a wonderful source of inspiration for their peers.”

Michelle Lim, the managing director of Reed Exhibitions Singapore, added, “I am delighted that the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has chosen ATF as the platform to debut its showcase of the Asian Emmy Award Nominees. We believe this collaboration creates unparalleled learning experiences for our attendees and reinforces the significance of ATF as an annual gathering of the industry.”
