Streamer’s global content chief and footballer-turned-businessman and TV studio owner to hold fireside chat at inaugural event
Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria and David Beckham have been confirmed as headline guests at Mip London next year.
Bajaria and Beckham, who is owner of production firm Studio 99, will take part in a special ‘in conversation’ fireside chat taking place Tuesday 25 February at the IET Savoy Place.
The pair worked together on Netflix’s Emmy-winning documentary series Beckham through Studio 99, which is also in production on the forthcoming series following the story behind Victoria Beckham’s fashion business.
Lucy Smith, director of Mip London and Mipcom Cannes, said: “Bela and David are hugely impactful figures culturally and globally each with great influence and unique perspectives on creating content and connecting with audiences and both with significant international platforms.
“It’s a privilege to welcome them both to the MIP stage in London.”
Mip London is taking place 23-27 February, during the same week as the London TV Screenings.
Bajaria joined Netflix in 2016 and was named chief content officer in January 2023. She oversees the teams responsible for all Netflix content from around the world including Stranger Things, Squid Game and Bridgerton. She was previously president of Universal Television.
Beckham founded Studio 99 in 2019, which produced the self-titled docuseries for Netflix, as well as Ronnie O’Sullivan: The Edge of Everything for Amazon Prime Video.
