We are here to learn how social media is effecting how we all discover and view content, on the big screen in your living room, on your laptop, on your tablet or mobile phone. All the research is showing that a large percentage of people watching TV are socializing around the content they are viewing, searching for information that intrigues them and sharing all of that with their social graph. Today we will define Social TV. In addition, we will show you some research and data that proves there is a huge audience out there who are co-viewing and enjoying companion television. We will also show you some case studies of how Spanish-speaking media companies are currently executing Social TV campaigns with some very cool new technology solution providers and finally, discuss how we all will generate new digital revenues from this socially engaged audience. Throughout the day we will be asking you to tell us your thoughts, opinions, emotions and sentiment. We believe that the audience is a part of each panel and we want you to interact and be social during these important panels and discussions. So grab a mike, Facebook your friends and Tweet your thoughts, with your colleagues here in Miami, and those that are not attending, by using the hashtag #socialtv. I have been organizing conferences since the late 1980s and I always make sure there is great networking opportunities to build new relationships, enhance the existing one’s and create a friendly deal-making environment. If you would like to meet anyone here, please ask me or any of our great staff to make that introduction for you. Thank you for joining us here at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
