TORONTO – Brunico Communications announced today that it has acquired the assets of the National Association of Television Programming Executives, which includes international content and streaming services.
The content and events producer said acquired assets will include the conferences and events of NATPE Global, NATPE Budapest, NATPE Streaming+, and the Brandon Tartikoff Legacy Awards, a press release said.
“With a distinguished track record building must-attend content markets like Realscreen Summit and Kidscreen Summit, and then reinvigorating the widely-acclaimed Banff World Media Festival, we could not be more pleased with this outcome,” said Andy Kaplan, Chair of NATPE’s Board of Directors. “With the Board’s full support, Brunico is ideally positioned to elevate NATPE to new heights.”
“Brunico plans to invest significant resources in building the NATPE brand, in particular NATPE Global, which is the premier US-based content marketplace,” the release added.
The NATPE Budapest conference will be held from June 26 to 28 and will see the return of annual events culminating in early 2024 with NATPE Global, the release said.
