KEYNOTES:
KEYNOTE: Defending Against Disinformation and Social Media Manipulation
We’ve heard a lot about Russian interference in US democracy — how that government and its troll armies are using paid advertisements and viral propaganda to influence American hearts and minds. Now new adversaries are using the same tactics to attack entertainment brands, target journalists, and manipulate the media. How can news and entertainment protect themselves and their consumers?
Jonathon Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, New Knowledge; and Founder, Data for Democracy
KEYNOTE: Empowering Artists via Blockchain
The hype about blockchain’s impact on Media & Entertainment often overlooks the critical crypto-community values that are driving each company’s discovery, investment and potential adoption: Transparency; Decentralization; Disintermediation and Democratization. While cryptocurrencies are currently seen as more publicity than purpose, the underlying blockchain technology has the essential elements to make a significant impact on how we create, manage and/or distribute entertainment content in the future. Artists and creators are looking at new ways to partner with content companies to address their goals of creative independence, IP ownership and financial transparency. This Keynote presentation looks at how tokens can be used to manage rights/revenue automatically using smart contracts and explores the tools and systems required to support creatives in this emerging, dynamic and empowering ecosystem.
Kim Jackson, Founder & President of Entertainment, SingularDTV
Keynote: Disruption in the Entertainment Industry – Monetizing the MoviePass Effect
MoviePass, the $10-a-month, moviegoer’s subscription service, has hit the million-subscriber milestone. When it’s losing money on every ticket used, how is this sustainable? Chairman and CEO, Ted Farnsworth, will explain that the business plan is “all about the data,” able to provide for the first time invaluable “who” and “when” data to content creators and producers.
Ted Farnsworth, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Helios & Matheson Analytics and Chief Executive Officer, Zone Technologies
