At the W Retreat and Spa Vieques, one of the most talked about media industry events will return on February 4-6: It is the Beet Retreat: a high-level executive retreat, a unique networking event – and a made-for-TV show taping. It will be our fourth retreat on the Caribbean island.
Unlike past retreats, which have covered a wide range of TV and digital video topics, the February program will discuss digital video. Topics to include the changing formats of video consumption, mobile, social, content discovering and syndication, native advertising, Web original programming, programmatic video, data, analytics and cross device publishing and monetization.
There will be just 35 participants for three days of in-depth, staged sessions, video interviews and networking activities. Participants will be high level media agency executives, publishers and technology innovators.
Please see our Beet Retreat in November at the W Fort Lauderdale. This event was about advanced & addressable TV.
