Entertainment, Media and Technology, bringing newsmakers together to

debate the challenges and opportunities facing content in the digital age.

 Diverse content anchored by versatile talent and supported by big

brands has always been the hallmark of Hollywood, and the technology revolution

has brought new models to the fore – streaming video, VOD, theatrical and

physical products all contributing to a reconfigured economic

landscape.

We bring together the leaders, the

deciders and the disrupters at the forefront of entertainment, media and

technology.  And unlike other conferences in this space, Founders and

CEOs of these trailblazing companies lead the debate.

Join our high level forum in 2015 for

two days of hard-hitting and intimate conversations

moderated by top level journalists and fueled by inquisitive conference

attendees.  Get the insider’s perspective!
