Sheeraz Hasan to Address
NATPE Conference
The
National Association of Television Producers and Executives
(NATPE) has announced the lineup of speakers for its annual
conference to be held in Las
Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Convention Center from
January 25-27 of next year. Joining Ted Turner and FCC Commissioner
Michael J. Copps on the docket is Sheeraz Hasan, the 30-year-old
founder, host, and CEO of Tinseltown TV,of Pakistan origin
who has made waves with his multi-award-winning show which
reaches 500 million people in 130 countries.
Sheeraz has one of the most remarkable rags-to-riches tales
in show business, and he will be telling the story of his
journey - from selling milkshakes in his London cafe to
hosting and producing a globally-broadcast television show
in the space of less than two years. Moving rapidly from
local to national distribution, to global on his newly-launched
Web TV channel Tinseltown.tv, Sheeraz has made history as
the first Muslim to
conquer Hollywood, and the secrets of his success will be
divulged at the three-day conference that will be attended
by every television executive in the world.
The circumstances that brought this dynamic young go-getter
to the forefront of the biggest gathering of television
movers-and-shakers is equally incredible: NATPE CEO Rick
Feldman was on a flight from the UK to LA when he picked
up a copy of the London Times newspaper and saw Sheeraz
on the cover, accompanied by an in-depth article about his
remarkable success story.
Reading the praise lavished on Sheeraz by Creative
Artists Agency founder Rowland Perkins, Feldman knew that
here was someone who could inspire the younger generation
to break into the television industry, and so he called
Perkins immediately upon landing. Vouching for Sheeraz's
dynamism and integrity, Perkins encouraged Feldman to book
Sheeraz as a speaker, and put the two of them in touch.
Sheeraz will be speaking at 2:45pm on Thursday, January
27, in the Presentation Theater of Mandalay Bay Resort in
Las Vegas at the NATPE 2005 Conference. For more information
