We’re back with our Coconuts Colloquium event series and this time it’s gonna be even more special because this event marks the one year anniversary of our awesome sauce membership program, COCO+. (If you haven’t heard, here’s why it’s spectacular.)
Join us for an evening of free-flow drinks, yummy finger-food, and of course, loads of knowledge coming your way thanks to a titillating panel discussion with leading media and tech industry executives.
Okay so let’s cut to the chase, and to the topic of our not-so-traditional panel discussion. How does the act of paying for regular content and services change the relationship between these businesses and their audiences? Will folks whip out their credit card to pay for something they’re used to getting for free?
We’ll discuss these questions and more with local leaders of the media, tech, and entertainment industries, moderated by Coconuts Media’s very own Marketing Director, Tara Chanapai.
Isn’t it just perfect that we get to talk about this on the anniversary of COCO+?
Let’s meet our esteemed panelists.
