CASBAA's annual flagship event will take place from October 29 to November 1, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. This year’s theme, “18 Reasons Why,” illustrates how the CASBAA Convention is consistently the industry’s must attend event in the region.

From its beginning in 1991 representing a barebones cable industry, CASBAA has emerged as the primary voice for a sector reaching 420 million connections under a footprint of 18 markets – Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

CASBAA also represents diverse sectors with member organisations drawn from pay TV channels, multichannel platforms, technology specialists, the global advertising sectors, the region’s most important regulators, Asia Pacific satellite operators, and a whole world of online and digital service providers.

As our industry recognises the vital role of collaboration, for both market growth or individual success, the CASBAA Convention is the venue where today’s leaders join forces, where ideas are explored and where business is generated.
