Family Guy, American Dad Creator Set for Promax/BDA Keynote

Seth MacFarlane, the award-winning animator and actor behind FOX’s popular comedies Family Guy and American Dad, has been confirmed as the creative keynote speaker at this year’s Promax/BDA Conference, set for June 17 to 19 in New York.



Announcing the latest addition to the Promax/BDA lineup, the organization’s president, Jonathan Block-Verk, noted: “Seth is a remarkable talent and a catalyst for change within the television industry. Through his characters and his own experience, he has a voice that is welcome, a point of view that is relevant and an approach that connects with our audience both as professionals and fans. He continually forces us to question the status quo and provide alternatives to everyday dreck. In the nearly ten years he’s been on air, he has dedicated himself to art, creativity and storytelling—precisely the elements that move, motivate and empower the Promax/BDA constituency.”



MacFarlane joins a roster that also includes Reverend Jesse Jackson; Nicholas Negroponte; Hustler TV’s president, Michael Klein; and James Lipton, the executive producer, writer and host of Inside the Actors’ Studio.
