Founding and History

The Hispanic Television Summit was first outlined in 2002 on the back of a paper napkin, during a meeting between current Summit producer Joe Schramm and Larry Dunn (then the associate editor of Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News). They had been directed by Larry Oliver (then the group publisher) to plan a conference to serve those in the business of TV for Hispanic audiences. From this initial conversation came the rationale for creating the conference: that Hispanics were an audience who could no longer be ignored by those in the TV industry. The reasons were evident due to the increase in U.S. Hispanic population, the increase in Hispanic television households, and the increase in annual consumer spending.[2]
