The final-year public relations students from the Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication (CARIMAC) at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, will host their annual World Television Day celebration on Thursday, November 20, 2025 under the theme ‘AI TV: The Beginning or the End’.

Originally planned as an in-person gathering, this year’s event will be held via Zoom due to the impact of Hurricane Melissa.

Despite the shift online, the organising team promises an engaging, interactive, and entertaining experience filled with prizes and surprises for attendees, ensuring that the excitement of World Television Day remains alive.

The event will feature a keynote presentation by Dushyant Savadia, distinguished social entrepreneur, iconic tech visionary, and eminent global humanitarian. He will explore the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and television, delving into how technology continues to transform content creation, distribution, and audience engagement. His keynote address will be followed by an interactive question-and-answer segment.

Dr Patrick Prendergast, director of CARIMAC, underscored the significance of this year’s theme and the need for continued dialogue around technology’s impact on storytelling.

World Television Day, observed globally on November 21, celebrates television’s role in connecting and informing audiences worldwide.

Through this annual observance, CARIMAC continues to inspire future communication leaders to explore the evolving landscape of media, technology and society.

The event will take place online from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
