Pulse Evolution Corporation (OTC:PFLX) today announced that Pulse Evolution Executive Chairman John Textor will be a keynote
speaker at the Digital Media Summit in Toronto, Ontario, at 2:30 p.m. on May 5, 2016.
Textor is a pioneer and industry leader who has revolutionized the business and art form of presenting hyper-realistic digital
humans for live performances, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. Textor spearheaded the 2012
appearance of Virtual Tupac Shakur at the Coachella Valley Music Festival and, with his Pulse partners, the 2014 performance of
Virtual Michael Jackson at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. Pulse Evolution has long-term revenue share agreements with three of
the highest earning late celebrity estates in the world, a virtual catalogue of Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Marilyn
Monroe.
The Digital Media Summit is Canada’s premier social media and interactive marketing conference. It is presented in conjunction
with Canadian Music Week in Toronto and features thought leaders in the digital and social media space. Textor will be featured in
a keynote interview entitled “Master of Surreality.” The interviewer is Ted Cohen, managing partner of TAG Strategic and a former
Sony Music executive.
In March, 2016, Pulse Evolution announced a landmark partnership with Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment. Pulse and Fuller -- the
British impresario who created the American Idol franchise and has worked with the Spice Girls, Amy Winehouse, Annie Lennox,
and David and Victoria Beckham -- aim to combine the highest quality visual imagery, including hyper-realistic digital humans, with
the most advanced and rapidly evolving display technologies to create immersive content for stage, virtual reality, augmented
reality and artificial intelligence.
Earlier this year, Pulse Evolution received investments from China’s Original Force Computer Animation Co. Ltd. and Shanghai U9
Game Co. Ltd., both of which are portfolio investments of Tencent Holding Limited, a $200 billion global conglomerate.
