CNBC Events
CNBC International reached out to Northam to help produce some of their larger global events, namely the World Economic Forum in Davos and East Tech West - their technology retreat in China. The aim is to produce engaging panel discussions and exclusive interviews on a wide range of topics, conduct the research, prepare the moderators and simply create good television!
The Project
With both projects, our first hurdle is to do a deep dive into the content. At WEF, we produce CNBC’s coverage in a church called The Sanctuary. Throughout the week, various global leaders sit down for one-on-one discussions and lively panel discussions on everything from creating a circular economy, to geopolitics and the state of the global markets. At East Tech West, it’s all about technology and innovation. The retreat brings together local Chinese tech heavyweights, venture capitalists and a slew of global tech firms. On the agenda are topics such as funding, 5G and overcoming global regulatory hurdles.
The Result
We love producing CNBC events because it allows us to work with our old colleagues, get back in the saddle of producing television and get the chance to hear from some of the most engaging, successful leaders in the world of business, politics and philanthropy. The final result is total exhaustion, but also a true sense of accomplishment that we were able to help one of the biggest global media organizations produce content we can all be proud of.
