The National Association of Television Program Executives annual NATPE Market & Conference brings together the worldwide television community of companies and individuals involved in buying, selling, developing, financing, advertising, marketing or licensing content; implementing technology; exploiting rights; or leveraging media assets.

College students or recent graduates are invited to apply for conference internships. Interns help with information distribution, registration, seminar seating, and other assignments to help the conference go smoothly. The conference is not open to the public thus the student interns receive a unique, behind-the-scenes view of the television industry. Interns put in long hours, including walking and standing for extended periods, but each student has an all-access pass to the conference. The Conference takes place from January 18th – 20th at the Fontainebleau Hotel Miami Beach. Interns are needed for pre-conference duties beginning the evening of Sunday, January 16th through Thursday, January 20th.
