The National Association of Broadcasters is hosting its fourth annual NAB Diversity Symposium during the 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas, and the NAB notes that this year’s symposium remains open to all attendees.
However, the program features a new structure that caters to the diversity of the NAB Show audience with individual sessions focusing on inclusion across the wider media, entertainment and technology industries.
“The programming is designed for all attendees – broadcasters, media production professionals, content creators, AI enthusiasts, technology professionals, storytellers and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) advocates,” the NAB notes.
“As we convene for the fourth annual NAB Diversity Symposium, fostering inclusive workplaces and advancing diversity within the broadcast industry is more important than ever,” said NAB Chief Diversity Officer Michelle Duke. “This year’s symposium is about empowering organizations to not just meet but exceed their diversity and inclusion goals. We are providing attendees with the tools, knowledge and strategies needed to cultivate diverse talent, create inclusive environments and drive innovation.”
Speakers include Cassandra Freeman, who is known for her role as Aunt Viv in Peacock’s “Bel Air,” and is also the co-founder of Creatricity, a platform that simplifies the process of finding and hiring vetted, reliable, and diverse talent and crew for television and film projects.
Also appearing are Arun Sundararajan, global expert in technology and business, author and professor at New York University; and Joe Strechay, TV and film producer and blindness consultant on Apple TV+ series “See.”
