PARIS: Adriana Cisneros, the vice chairman and director of strategy of the Cisneros Group of Companies, is on board as the headline speaker for MIPCOM’s first-ever LATAM Global Dealmakers Networking Lunch, to take place October 9 in Cannes.

The senior-level event will bring together 80 entertainment executives from Latin America and worldwide who are leading the growth in international co-productions and media investments. The event is sponsored by Telemundo Internacional. The keynote and lunch will take place at the Carlton on October 9. The event is invitation only.

“Adriana Cisneros is one of the industry’s most inspiring executives, recognized for both her global business and philanthropic leadership, a hallmark of the Cisneros family enterprise for three generations,” said Laurine Garaude, the director of Reed MIDEM’s television division. “Her vision for ‘the new Latin American decade’ will elevate the conversation on Latin America, bringing into focus the enormous business and creative potential of the region for entertainment executives worldwide.”

“I am delighted to participate in this forum of global significance, and to have the opportunity to share industry trends and the impact of the new technologies with world-class colleagues,” added Cisneros. “While the Cisneros Group holds a leading position in the Spanish-speaking world—where there is a market of 450 million Latin American consumers and 50 million Hispanics in the United States—we are always exploring opportunities for co-productions and media investment deals in new markets and different languages.”
