Where creativity meets business
The entertainment industry is undergoing a period of prolonged disruption, from the need to rethink the streaming-first business model to the rise of AI. It is a time of reinvention and opportunity for the worlds of film, TV, music and gaming. This is occurring against a backdrop of rising costs, continued growth and an unstable international climate creating complexities at every turn. As businesses come to terms with the new parameters of entertainment - new customers, new mediums and new opportunities - cooperation is more important than ever. Consumers now demand easy access to all of their entertainment instantaneously and with many major players now sitting across the key verticals simultaneously the challenge is finding ways to do this and maximising the value of doing so.
The Financial Times’ inaugural Business of Entertainment Summit will bring together the key players across film & TV, music and gaming to find solutions to the industry’s biggest challenges, identify how collaboration can breed success and explore how businesses can capitalize on disruption.
