The third annual Beet.TV Executive Retreat is January 24-25 at the W Retreat & Spa on the Caribbean island of Vieques.   Over the course of  next two days of  panels and presentations, this group of industry leaders will explore the emerging medium of digital video.  Topics will  include  ad effectiveness and measurement;  the emerging platforms and strategy for distribution;  programmatic and real-time buying;  web original entertainment and news video;  “native” advertising;  interactive advertising;  syndication and discovery — and other topics.   The conversations will be deeply informative.  In addition to the programming, the participants will enjoy unique off-the-grid networking. The entire program is being produced for video.  We are not producing it live, but will start to publish segments this on Sunday.  Her is the line-up;
