All That Matters returns to Singapore with new events on mediatainment in Asia
MUMBAI: Recognised as the gateway to the Asian entertainment industry, All That Matters has opened its doors for registration and will return to Singapore on 20-23 May 2015. Anticipated to attract thousands of executives and fans from all over the world, All That Matters, is a unique “Business2Business2Fan” experience which combines the complex worlds of brands, consumers, technology and entertainment to focus on new frontiers in Shaping Asia’s Digital Media and Entertainment Future.
Dubbed “the Asian Davos of Digital” and “TED meets SXSW” All That Matters unites the Music, Digital Media, Live Entertainment and Sponsorship industries to stimulate a week long extravaganza of business creativity and connection.
“All That Matters will be an incredible week of business insights, leadership and collaboration on how best to streamline, integrate and succeed in the brave new world of social and digitally powered entertainment. We’ll be looking down the road to examine new technologies, new audiences, new opportunities and the ways in which marketers and entertainment professionals can keep pace and make money. No one ever wins by standing still,” said Jasper Donat, Co-founder & CEO of organiser Branded.
“We’re also delighted to launch two new events to ensure we’re providing the 360 degree perspective our attendees have come to rely on for their business planning. LIVE! Matters is a deep dive into the booming live entertainment industry and Future Media Matters evolves our Digital and Social Matters properties into a forward-focused forum projecting the innovations and strategies for success in a ‘mediatainment’ world. Of course there will also be plenty of play with our reputation for being Asia’s entertainment connectors being a key differentiator of the whole All That Matters experience.”

MUMBAI: Lights, camera… connection because this time, the game isn’t just about winning, it’s about who’s with you. Sony Pictures Networks India is gearing up to launch a new reality game show, Tum Ho Naa, expanding its unscripted slate with a format that promises both emotion and engagement.
The show will premiere soon on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV, with Rajeev Khandelwal stepping in as host. Known for his measured screen presence and selective choices, Khandelwal’s return to television adds a layer of familiarity and credibility to the upcoming format.
While specific details of the gameplay remain under wraps, the positioning suggests a reality format that leans as much on emotional resonance as it does on competition, an increasingly popular blend in Indian television, where audiences are gravitating towards content that offers both stakes and storytelling.
Khandelwal, reflecting on his return, noted that his choices have often been guided by instinct rather than convention, describing Tum Ho Naa as a project that feels “close to the heart”. His association also signals Sony’s continued focus on anchoring new formats with recognisable faces who bring both relatability and depth.
The launch comes at a time when broadcasters are doubling down on original non-fiction formats to drive appointment viewing, even as digital platforms expand parallel reach. By placing the show across both linear television and OTT, Sony appears to be aiming for a dual-audience strategy capturing traditional viewers while engaging digital-first consumers.
As the countdown to premiere begins, Tum Ho Naa positions itself not just as another game show, but as a reminder that sometimes, the biggest prize on screen isn’t the jackpot, it’s the journey shared along the way.
