VIEQUES, PR \u2013 Take several dozen \u201cintelligent, ambitious, excited and passionate\u201d advertising, media and technology executives to a sunny island and you get some amazing conversations during panel discussions, over cocktails and dinners.<\/p>\n

You also get to experience a sense of shared success\u2014whether the topic is television audience guarantees, addressable advertising, or new offerings from the likes of Hulu, Innovid and Spotify, according to Ashley J. Swartz, CEO of Furious Corp.<\/a> and the self-described Dean of the Faculty of the annual Beet.TV Executive Retreat<\/a>, which was sponsored by Videology<\/a> with 605<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In keeping with longstanding tradition, in this video Swartz gives a brief recap of two days of industry give and take in a venue that eschews divisiveness for camaraderie and shared success.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Retreat was truly a global affair, with the presence of experts from Liberty Global, Sky TV and others. But for Swartz, there was something more basic at play.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow blessed I am to have such amazing colleagues,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
