Overview

Todays Media legal counsels face unprecedented challenges as globalization and the digital age have dramatically changed how and where information and media content is created, distributed and consumed. Consumer's attention is increasingly divided between traditional TV and radio and new online media sites such as Youtube and Facebook. Advertising and subscription revenue is being challenged by new business models that have yet to be quantified, while the rise of developing markets has created new opportunities and threats for distributing content and intellectual property ownership rights respectively.

General Counsels are playing an increasingly active role in their companies role in negotiating strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, and offering advice on distribution, license and supply agreements. This breakfast briefing will highlight the nature of these transactions and debate and discuss the protection and monetization of content for both online and traditional media on the international stage.

An exclusive gathering of general counsel and chief legal officers, this event explores the most pressing challenges facing in-house Media counsels today with an eye towards the future. Attendance will be restricted to the key operators in the media sector, including broadcasters, production companies, telecommunications companies, film studios, publishers and financiers from around the world.
