Broadcast publisher MBI is hosting the Media Summit on 7 & 8 June to gather leaders from across the TV, film and creative communities to debate the future of content, innovation and digital strategy. Read on to learn more about the two-day event.

Media Summit

What is the Media Summit and why should I attend?

The MBI Media Summit has established itself as a key event offering valuable insight into the strategies of the world’s leading media companies, and the businesses and individuals that are disrupting the old order.

Whether it’s TV, film or advertising, the Media Summit will cover new thinking around content, audiences and platforms.

What is on the agenda at the Media Summit 2016?

Themes for this year include the globalisation of content, which will be addressed in interviews with the chief executives of international giants Endemol Shine Group (Sophie Turner Laing) and Fremantle Media Group (Cecile Frot Coutaz).

In the digital world, Bruce Daisley will share insight around Twitter’s thinking about audiences and behaviour.

We will also discuss the vital question of the future of the BBC, with the corporation’s director of strategy and digital James Purnell addressing delegates in the immediate aftermath of the government white paper, which is due to be published in late May.

There will also be sessions highlighting the impact of social and sharing; how audience consumption is evolving; the snowballing appetite for scripted content; the place of PSB in the 21st century; and the innovation at the heart of new digital businesses.

Virtual reality, video-on-demand, and content marketing will all play a key part in the discussions.
