On Thursday, October 4, 2018, the Annual Hispanic Television Summit will return to the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, where it was first presented and called home for many years. This will be the sixteenth consecutive year the Summit has been presented by Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News, two leading business publications serving the television and video industry. Likewise, the summit has consistently been produced for all 16 years by Schramm Marketing Group, on behalf of these publications. This unique long-standing partnership has earned the annual Hispanic Television Summit a reputation as the leading and most reliable conference for those in the business of providing television and video content to Hispanic audiences domestically, and around the world.

“We are excited to bring the annual Hispanic Television Summit back to where it was first presented in 2002, and where it continued to be presented for much of its history,” said Charlie Weiss, VP, Market Expert – Broadcast, Cable, and Broadband Television NewBay. He continued, “We heard our many sponsors, hundreds of attendees and noted speakers, panelists and celebrity talent who have expressed an interest in seeing the summit return to its roots. We are happy to announce that we are going home.”

The 16th Annual Hispanic Television Summit is expected to include an exciting focus on advertising and digital video distribution, as well as new programming production and audience metrics. The Awards ceremony during the luncheon will again honor corporate and executive leadership as well as present the distinguished Award for Outstanding Achievement in Hispanic Television that honors a leading on-air talent or content creator. Past recipients of these varied awards have included noted personalities like Host, Singer & Actress Lucero; Rafael Amaya; boxing champion and entrepreneur Oscar De La Hoya; Lili Estefan and Raúl De Molina, co-hosts of Univision Network’s “El Gordo y la Flaca”; soccer sportscaster Andrés Cantor; talk show hostess Cristina Saralegui, long-time Sábado Gigante host, Don Francisco; Univision news anchors Jorge Ramos and María Elena Salinas, Telemundo / MSNBC news anchor José Díaz-Balart; news journalist Maria Celeste Arrarás, and advertising executives like Starcom Mediavest Group’s Monica Gadsby and P&G’s Edgar Sandoval, and corporations or organizations including Major League Soccer, Altice USA, Comcast Cable, Verizon, Time Warner Cable (now Spectrum), DISH and AT&T/DIRECTV to name a few.

According to Joe Schramm, the summit’s producer, “This summit is a one-of-a-kind gathering of those in the business of reaching Hispanic viewers and consumers. Past sponsors, speakers and attendees can count on us to once again deliver a valuable and informative event.” Schramm continued, “We already have sponsors committed to this year’s event, and we are now accepting submissions for speakers and panelists.”
