Splice Beta 2024

The KAS Media Programme Asia was once again proud to support Splice Beta, a dynamic media conference designed to inspire innovation and collaboration within the media industry. Splice Beta serves as a vibrant platform for media professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders of thought to exchange ideas, explore new trends, and forge meaningful partnerships. This year, we explored topics such as diversifying revenue streams, leveraging technology to improve storytelling, and fostering inclusive and collaborative communities. Over three days, experts shared their knowledge on subscription models, ethical AI in journalism, audience engagement, and the importance of mental health in newsroom culture. Curated workshops also provided practical insights into digital transformation and new monetisation techniques. Attended by 250 participants representing 132 organisations from across 48 countries, the ‘Splice Beta ecosystem’ has been dubbed as the community leading the Asian media renaissance, with this gathering marking a celebration of creativity, resilience, and the spirit of experimentation that defines modern media. Our support of this event and its participants reaffirms our commitment to fostering creativity, resilience, and quality journalism in the ever-evolving media landscape.
