The National Association of Television Program Executives annual NATPE Market & Conference is the only American program market serving the worldwide television community. Companies and individuals involved in buying, selling, developing, financing, advertising, marketing or licensing content; implementing technology; exploiting rights; or leveraging media assets, attend the annual Market & Conference each January.
Conference interns help with information distribution, registration, seminar seating, publications and other assignments that make the event go smoothly. The conference is not open to the public thus the student interns receive a unique, behind-the-scenes view of the television industry. Interns put in long hours but each student has an all-access pass to the conference.
For 2015, the NATPE Market & Conference is scheduled for January 20th – 22nd at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Interns would be needed for pre-conference duties beginning the evening of Saturday, January 17th.
