Global Conference 2014
Entertainment: The Big Picture
Wednesday, April 30, 2014 / 10:00 am - 11:00 am
The story of entertainment in 2014 is packed with action and suspense, and digital technology is the protagonist. Netflix streams it, iTunes sells it a la carte. Microsoft has become an entertainment company, and your son's selfie is amusing viewers half a world away. The Web is helping the range of media industries barge into one another's markets - what are the implications as the long-anticipated convergence scenario comes to pass? At the same time, the traditional movie business had its best box-office year ever in 2013 and television seems to be the new stage for glamour and creative experimentation. This panel of renowned media creators and analysts will examine the competitive dynamics among delivery systems, the expanding impact of globalization and what regulators will be watching.
