7th Global Video Media Forum 2017 (VMF)

Over the past years, the forum has served as a bridge that links Chinese and international media organizations, encouraging dialogues for attendees to better understand the market, while creating networking opportunities that will lead to new ideas and cooperation.

This year, speakers will include vice president of China Central Television, China Global Television Network (CGTN. a multi-language, multi-platform media grouping under CCTV), AP, Reuters, and CNN. Over 100 professionals from renowned global media organizations, as well as representatives from China’s province-level TV stations will participate in this event.

Among all sessions of VMF, Panel 3: Content vs Platform: lose-lose or win-win, which features a discussion over the content quality and distribution channels. Whether or not should media prioritize its content production over diversifying distribution channels. Your cross-platform experience in different TV broadcasters and current role as the creative director of Shorthand.com will undoubtedly contribute to generate inspiring thoughts in this session.

Panel 3, moderated by a leading Chinese scholar in the field of broadcasting media, will comprise 6 panelists, CCTV News App, Amazon, Iqiyi (the largest online video site in China, with successful paid-subscription service), and CEO of Sky News Arabia.
