1.) The Depth of Coverage. The Hispanic Television Summit is about theHispanic Television and Digital Video Market. Period. It is a full agenda ofone and a half days, with seven sessions and four special presentations (plusone Award ceremony) -- all of it about Hispanic Television.

This is a one of a kind, "signature" conference. It is unlike other"multicultural" conferences where a handful of sessions might only scratch thesurface about Hispanic TV and video media. Instead, the Hispanic TelevisionSummit is focused with panels on marketing, advertising, programming andpromotions, as well as distribution, consumer technology and finance.Attendees will hear from and talk with the top industry leaders who are makingmoney and can share with you how they are doing it.

Notably, this year, the Summit will focus on the diversity within theHispanic viewing household, and how their varied interests are reflected inthe programming watched, the sponsors choosing to advertise, the investmentsbeing made in the market, and the latest hi-tech video devices being used toenjoy the programming.

2.) Noted Speakers. Featured Presenters. Knowledgeable Panelists. AllDeliver Quality and Value. The second reason to attend is that the plannersof the Hispanic Television Summit provide a high-quality conference that isknown for delivering the best value for the attractively-priced registrationfee. This is accomplished by ensuring that the industry's leaders are amongthe presenters and panelists -- as well as among the attendees. The lineupthis year is impressive, including Time Warner Cable's Executive VicePresident and Chief Programming Officer, Melinda Witmer as well as TelemundoCommunications Group COO Jacqueline Hernandez as featured speakers -- eachwith their own, distinct viewpoint on programming and content for Hispanicviewers.

A special presentation will be made about Hispanic consumers and how toattract them. This will be presented by Robin Blunt, the Vice President forPromotions for leading retail shopping mall management company, Simon. And, akey industry leader -- Joe Uva, Univision's CEO will make special introductoryremarks about renowned television journalist Jorge Ramos. Ramos is the anchorof "Noticiero Univision" and the host of Univision's weekly newsmagazineseries, "Al Punto". He will be presented an award for his Lifetime ofAchievement in Hispanic Television at a special awards luncheon ceremony inhis honor on Thursday October 23, beginning at 12 noon. And there are manymore special guests who will appear on the panels mentioned earlier. Theirdiscussions will cover all aspects of the Hispanic TV market.

3.) The Attendees. About 70% of attendees at the Hispanic TelevisionSummit are repeat attendees, partly due to the fact that the Summit plannersare very responsive to feedback they have received from those in attendance.For example, a consumer technology panel was added this year in response topopular request.

Part of the feedback has also requested that ample time be allowed fornetworking. In fact, there are a number of networking opportunities -- twococktail receptions, a one-hour dessert reception and the continentalbreakfast, as well as two coffee breaks. Plus, a special lounge area has beenset aside for informal meetings and private conversations.
