Rise with Asia is the theme at this year’s Asia Television Forum, a three-day event that kicks off at the beginning of next month (December 2-4), where more than 700 companies from more than 50 countries will be present.

The Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2009-2013 report from PricewaterhouseCoopers notes that Asia Pacific remains as one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.

Rob Clark, global head of entertainment for FremantleMedia, is on board as the keynote speaker for Focus on Formats, along with a panel of speakers from 2waytraffic, activeTV, Armoza Formats, BBC Worldwide Asia, Endemol Group and Televisa Internacional. Meanwhile, the Format Superpitch will feature six Asian producers vying to present ideas on their new show format.
