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