Leading communications and entertainment

provider, FLOW Jamaica is the exclusive technology partner of Reggae Sumfest

2020.

Dubbed the greatest reggae show on earth,

the annual festival moves online as organisers comply with the restrictions in

place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the agreement, FLOW will provide all

technology support required for the virtual staging of the annual festival.

The company’s partnership with Reggae

Sumfest also extends to promoting the event across its platforms as well as a

delayed broadcast across the Caribbean on FLOW 100, the company’s cable TV

channel.

Fans in over 14 Caribbean markets will, therefore, have an opportunity to also safely enjoy the event from the comfort of their homes.

Commenting on the partnership, Latoy

Lawrence, FLOW’s Marketing Manager stated, “We connect people through our

services and products and in this instance, we’re connecting artistes to their

fans.  Reggae Sumfest is a

well-established global event that highlights the best of our culture while

inspiring the next generation of artistes, so even as the Festival adjusts to

the COVID-19 reality, we’re joining forces as the leading communications and

entertainment provider to share this premium entertainment with the thousands

of fans in Jamaica and across the world.”

Joe Bogdanovich, chairman and CEO of

Downsound Entertainment, the producers of Reggae Sumfest, commented: “Reggae

Sumfest is a premiere event with a solid reputation of stellar performances and

world-class production.  With the impact

of COVID-19, we’ve gone virtual but will still be delivering the event at the

high standard that our supporters expect. 

To this end, our partnership with Flow is a no brainer.  The success of our first ever virtual staging

is heavily dependent on the technology backbone that supports it and so we’ve

opted to go with Flow as the provider of choice for these kinds of executions.

The Sumfest team is encouraging our fans all over the world to enjoy our gift

of music as we take a respite from the challenges of COVID-19.”
