STATE OF THE INDUSTRY

 

Productions are moving forward, and we want to know how those deals were closed, who to look out for in the market and what distribution will look like now. Consumers want to be entertained in new and exciting ways and we are eager to learn about how to keep audiences interested in this post-COVID world. We’ve seen an increase in engagement with documentaries, untold stories and local language content from around the world. It is the time to explore new facets of the industry and further explore the use of multi-purpose platforms. We will hear from our elite speakers on their thoughts about the re-emergence of live aspects of our industry, and all the new and exciting trends to look forward to in 2022 and beyond.
