LONDON --(Business Wire)--
Broadband
Asia & TV Connect Asia 2013, Asia Pacific's largest broadband
and media event, is set to attract thousands of decision-makers from
across the region as it relocates back to Hong Kong. As the event's
official Host Operator Partners, Hong Kong's leading operators PCCW and
HKT are already strong supporters of the conference and exhibition. The
event also has support from CSL, Pacnet (News - Alert) and the Commerce and Economic
Development Bureau for Hong Kong.
Now in its ninth year, Broadband Asia & TV Connect Asia welcomes PCCW (News - Alert)
and HKT, as HKT's Group Managing Director, Alex Arena, is set to provide
the host keynote. Mr Arena comments: "PCCW and HKT are very excited to
have this event return to Hong Kong where we look forward to greeting a
wide range of delegates from across the region and beyond. This is a
highly valuable opportunity for us all to meet new partners, discover
new business opportunities, benchmark your own business and to gain
insight into the hottest topics facing the broadband and TV industry in
the Asia Pacific region."
Miss Susie Ho, Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development
(Communications and Technology) at Hong Kong's Commerce and Economic
Development Bureau, will open the conference and exhibition with a
Ministerial Welcome Address. The organisers are delighted to have Miss
Ho and Hong Kong's entire broadband ecosystem on board as it further
strengthens the event's position in the region's exploding marketplace,
particularly at a time Asia tops global broadband charts.
Co-located with TV Connect Asia, the conference and exhibition will
highlight visionary new developments in TV and broadband, bringing
together the two ecosystems and their leading figures from across the
region. The event's focus is reflected throughout its agenda which has
an impressive speaker line-up that will give visitor exclusive insight
into the latest advancements in mobile and fixed broadband, and the
content evolution.
The two-day event is made up of two programme tracks which complement
each other to reflect the nature of the converging broadband and
connected entertainment industry. Day One will address fixed access
evolution, mobile and wireless opportunities, business models, the
digital home, making TV multi-screen, and effective content delivery
management, while Day Two will focus on leveraging broadband networks,
capacity and accessibility, effective TV delivery and content business
strategies. Combined keynotes will take place across both days with
C-level speakers, including CSL, Celestial Tiger Entertainment, Youku
Tudou, Hulu, Telstra (News - Alert), Telecom New Zealand and KT (Korea Telecom).
Visitors will benefit from conference sessions delivered by over 150
visionary speakers and an exhibition featuring leading industry solution

Internet Age. Here, leading figures from News Corporation, Media
Partners Age, Motion Pictures Association, PCCW-HKT and CASBAA (Cable
and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia), will lead the
discussion on this hot topic. The event's VIP Executive Summit is also
