The National Association of Broadcasters is enhancing its annual Diversity Symposium in 2024 with a renewed focus on broadcasting, media production, and AI technology. The fourth edition of the event aims to cater to a broader audience with specialized sessions on key topics.
Key themes to be explored during the symposium include the empowerment of minority athletes in sports media, the impact of generative AI on diversity, equity, and inclusion goals, and the crucial role of diverse content creators in shaping media narratives. Industry leaders will share their strategies for advancing DEI within their organizations, while highlighting the importance of inclusivity in media production.
Esteemed speakers at the event will include Cassandra Freeman from Peacock’s Bel Air, Arun Sundararajan from New York University, and Joe Strechay, a producer known for his work on the Apple TV+ series See. Their insights are expected to spark meaningful conversations among attendees and provide valuable perspectives on diversity and inclusion in the broadcast industry.
