MIPCOM, the annual event for the global entertainment content market, has announced this year’s keynote line-up for its Media Mastermind Keynote programme. The confirmed speakers include Frances Berwick, President of Bravo and Style Media; Cécile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of FremantleMedia; Ryan Kavanaugh, CEO of Relativity Media, and Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. Organised by Reed MIDEM, MIPCOM will be held at the Palais des Festivals’ Grand Auditiorium in Cannes from 7 to 10 October 2013.
Laurine Garaude, Director of Reed MIDEM’s Television Division, said, “Television is undergoing a dramatic transformation and confirms itself as the world’s most creative medium for the world’s best storytellers. With more screens and more interaction coming into play, television and storytelling as we know it is being redefined — leading to more creative and business opportunities than ever before.”
“As we enter a new golden age of television, MIPCOM is delighted to welcome some of the most influential personalities of the new world of content from major film, television and online companies such as Bravo and Style Media, FremantleMedia, Relativity Media, and Amazon Studios.”
“With the first speakers lined up for the Media Mastermind Keynote programme, a new Croisette Village exhibition venue to meet increasing demand for stands and companies already expressing interest in bringing in more talent than ever before, MIPCOM 2013 promises to be a record-breaking edition,” concludes Laurine Garaude.
