NGLC Media, Marketing & Entertainment Conference

Coming To Los Angeles on June 5th

Presented By FOX Audience Strategy & Fox Hispanic Media

The New Generation Latino Consortium (NGLC.biz) is hosting a new and exciting west coast installment of the industry leading ‘NGLC Media, Marketing & Entertainment Conference’ in Los Angeles on Tuesday, June 5th at the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel.

Presented by Fox Audience Strategy and Fox Hispanic Media, the one-day conference is an NGLC first for the west coast, where there has been a high demand for the event since the organization launched almost ten years ago. Leading senior executives from FOX and featured co-sponsors, nuvoTV, Terra Networks USA, Warner Bros., Moet Hennessy and Batanga Media will also be on hand to exclusively discuss New Generation Latinos’ impact in the fields of media, marketing, and entertainment.

The SLS Beverly Hills Hotel will provide a luxurious backdrop for a totally new line-up of speakers, along with the inaugural FOX “Seizing Opportunity” luncheon hosted by multiple FOX entertainment businesses including Kevin Reilly – President Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company, Emiliano Saccone – President, MundoFox; Fox Hispanic Media’s, Nat Geo Mundo, Utilisima and Fox Deportes, and Mark Kaner – President, 20th Century Fox Television Distribution. The luncheon will provide an opportunity to connect with FOX division heads and senior executives hosting tables representing their respective businesses. At NGLC/LA, “Seizing Opportunity” is all about engaging today’s New Generation Latino audience across every facet of FOX’s entertainment business from a Total Market perspective. The breadth of FOX’s entertainment assets runs the gamut from programming featuring top Latino talent such as American Idol’s Jennifer Lopez and Glee’s Naya Rivera, to the launch of the Spanish-language broadcast network MundoFox and sports programming in Spanish.

“Fox Audience Strategy, on behalf of our entertainment businesses, is thrilled to present this dynamic business platform – it is an innovative opportunity to engage this key demographic, and highlight our commitment to the Latino business and creative community,” said Nicole Bernard, Senior Vice President, Fox Audience Strategy.

Building off of the landmark NGLC/NY event that met with great success on April 2^nd, the NGLC/LA conference will deliver a thought-provoking agenda filled with dynamic executive-level speakers addressing the NGL market head-on.  As the only business conference exclusively focused on the New Generation Latino opportunity, the NGLC is a must-attend for those seeking a better understanding of how to tap into the MAJORITY of U.S. Hispanics leading bilingual and bicultural lives.

“It was time for the NGLC to come to Los Angeles, the #1 U.S. Latino market and entertainment capital of the world.  Given the importance of New Generation Latinos, both as an audience and the work they do in front of and behind the camera, I can think of no better setting for this hallmark NGLC event.  We couldn’t do it without the help of our sponsors, and it’s especially exciting to have FOX on board given their Total Market commitment to engaging our audience,” said David Chitel, NGLC Founder and Chairman.

“Terra is proud to sponsor the NGLC’s Inaugural LA conference after sponsoring the NY events the last two years. This event highlights the influence of new generations of Latinos in media and marketing,” said Fernando Rodriguez, CEO of Terra USA. Terra connects with this important and influential audience every day across platforms and it is our pleasure to contribute our expertise in the bilingual digital space at these forums.”

Rafael “Rafe” Oller, SVP of Marketing, nuvoTV, said, “nuvoTV was created to serve the needs and interests of the English speaking, bi-cultural Latino. In the eight years since our launch we have accumulated a tremendous reservoir of knowledge about this huge segment of the Hispanic population, and I look forward to sharing some of these insights and engaging in a lively discussion on the topic at the June 5th conference.

“Batanga Media is thrilled to be a sponsor of the first NGLC Los Angeles-based conference and participating in the dialogue,” said Natalia Borges, Vice President of Marketing for Batanga Media. “For over a decade we have been providing New Generation Latinos with entertaining and engaging digital content and look forward to sharing our valuable insights.”
