Paris, April 7, 2008 – Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM) joins the 160 companies to have already agreed to exhibit at the first edition of AMAZIA, Asia’s ultimate entertainment content market. MGM Chairman & CEO, Harry E. Sloan will deliver a keynote speech as part of the two day entertainment summit which is set to open the new AMAZIA event.

The inaugural event, opening with the AMAZIA Entertainment Summit (17-18 November), will take place from 18-20 November 2008, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Commented Sloan: “I am pleased to have been invited to give a keynote speech at AMAZIA, and appreciate the opportunity to share MGM's global expansion strategy with delegates from both Asia and throughout the world during this promising new entertainment summit. MGM is one of the world's few instantly recognized brands, having surpassed geographic, language and cultural barriers with its ability to develop and distribute popular entertainment for the world's media consumers. I look forward to discussing our latest global initiatives as well as my thoughts on how popular entertainment franchises and formats are demonstrating the numerous similarities among today's global audience.”

Sloan headed media companies New World Entertainment and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. before building the media empire that would become SBS Broadcasting. After selling his interest in SBS Broadcasting, Sloan was named Chairman of MGM in October 2005 and continues in that role to redefine today's modern studio business model.

He is the first confirmed keynote for the AMAZIA Entertainment Summit featuring top leaders from Asian and international markets. During two days, this high-level visionary conference will bring together key media and entertainment figures from China, India, Japan, Korea, Australia, South East Asia, the United States and Europe. Leading Web 2.0, mobile, film, music and TV players will provide their insight into the future of media and digital distribution and discuss cutting edge trends in Asian and world markets.

The Summit will also give participants the possibility to discover next generation digital lifestyles and new entertainment models (advertising, regulation and creative disruption) via unique case studies.

Organised by Paris-based Reed MIDEM, AMAZIA is the first business-to-business exhibition, conference and networking event based in Asia to be devoted to the creation and distribution of television, music and gaming content across all delivery platforms.
