IBC Leaders' Summit Announced

News Image
This year's IBC Leaders' Summit will be held on Thursday 11 September, offering an invitation-only event curated for 150 of "the most influential and visionary people at the top of the industry."

This year's topic of choice is 'Leading Innovation and Change'. Four sessions — Taking the Pulse, Embracing Change, The Impact of New Players, and Preparing for the Future — hosted once again by writer and broadcaster Andrew Neil and underpinned with research from Deloitte, to answer the following question: How can big and successful electronic media and entertainment businesses maintain their competitive lead in a time of rapid innovation and accelerating change?
The Summit will examine present and future industries in detail to provide the answers: What are the underlying business strategies that are relevant to current and near future planning? Where are the opportunities and lurking disruptors in current transitions? How will the key actors — advertisers, content producers, device providers and consumers — adapt to the rise of the digital content providers and telecoms entrants to the field? And what are the challenges of engaging the blended consumer in an increasingly untethered world featuring genuinely transmedia content?
The discussion is to be supported by independent research from supporting partner Deloitte, which will examine how revenues are changing in TV business models; the rise in TV sports and premium content rights; developments in TV and data analytics; the impact of piracy and the viability of the standalone OTT model; the converged living room; and the key trends in device evolution and the winners and losers that are likely to result from technological and business change.
The Summit will open with Andrew Neil interviewing David Abraham, CEO of Channel 4.



Other speakers include:
• Ove Anebygd, Vice President and Head of Solution Area Media, Ericsson
• Nicholas Bry, SVO, Orange Innovation
• David Bush, Marketing Director, Sony Professional Solutions Europe
• Darren Childs, CEO, UKTV
• Ingrid Deltenre, Director General, EBU
• Niclas Ericson, Director of TV, FIFA
• Erik Huggers, Senior Vice President, Verizon Communications
• Michelle Munson, CEO and Co-founder, Aspera Inc
• Balan Nair, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Liberty Global
• Jette Nygaard- Andersen, EVP and CEO Pay-TV, Nordics, Modern Times Group
• Just Spee, CEO, Endemol

"We have created something unique and powerful with the IBC Leaders' Summit," commented IBC Content Editor Graham Lovelace. "At its heart are insights from some of the most influential speakers in the industry supported by our exclusive research from Deloitte.
"We combine these together into a vibrant event that takes place strictly behind closed doors, allowing delegates to speak their minds, address the issues, and highlight their concerns in an open and inspiring environment. It truly is a collaborative event with engagement at all levels and we have seen some remarkable discussions take place at it over the years."
