The EIDR Annual Participant Meeting arrives April 13, this time as an all-digital event, and attendees will be treated to a pair of panels tackling the state of the industry and EIDR itself.
First up is “Setting the Stage for EIDR’s APM (and Beyond)” which will see EIDR’s board of directors outline the strategic vision for 2021, addressing the role of EIDR in the growth of streaming platforms, the goal of ubiquitous coverage of new film and TV content, and the continuing plans for platform refresh.

Later in the day, the “Power User Group and User Engagement” panel will highlight the benefits of EIDR’s Power User Group, which meets monthly to discuss use cases and increasing user input. The session will highlight the group and the need to have users serve as product managers, alpha/beta testers and creators of user stories to drive the continued evolution of the registry platform. Sarah Nix, senior director of archives and global data governance for ViacomCBS will moderate with Marine Suttle, EVP and chief product officer for The Boxoffice Co. joining the discussion. More panelists will be announced.
