Culture as Capital brings Unexpected Connections LIVE for a conversation about culture, creativity, influence, and what happens when worlds collide.
We’re honored to welcome Chris to the conversation at Unexpected Connections: Culture as Capital on 10/20!
As SVP of Music Business at CJ ENM USA, Chris leads US music strategy, IP development and major live entertainment initiatives, including KCON. He’s spent more than 14 years across music, media and live entertainment in the US and Asia, bringing the US and Korean entertainment industries together. CJ ENM has been at the forefront of these cross-cultural connections. This past August, Chris was instrumental in bringing Mexico-based Kpop group Santos Bravos to the KCON LA stage, where Korean, Latin and American audiences came together.
Chris joins Matthew Choy of Intertrend Communications for a conversation moderated by Tim Chan of Penske Media.
