Changing Media Summit
The Changing Media Summit is a key event for professionals involved in the fields of media, advertising, social networks, gaming, finance, and mobile platforms. The event lasts for two days, during which participants have a great opportunity to expand their professional networks and to gain unique insights on how to maximise their strategies for content creation and monetisation.
About the Changing Media Summit
The celebration of the Changing Media Summit is closely linked to the ever-increasing importance of digital technologies and to their impact on virtually every business sector. One of the main characteristics of the digital age is the rapidly changing environment to which professionals need to adapt, so the Changing Media Summit was created with the objective of facilitating an exchange of ideas that can help make the most of the changes brought about by digital technologies.
The Changing Media Summit consists of panel debates, discussions, presentations, interviews, and keynote speeches delivered by experts from all over the world. The last edition of this event welcomed more than 400 delegates, which for the most part were senior executives and directors of renowned blue-chip companies. However, the Changing Media Summit does not exclude smaller organisations. Recent start-ups and new entrepreneurs can benefit from the event's programme of activities, and so do charities, government agencies, academic institutions, trade unions, and local authorities.
Given the potential range of applications that digital technology has, the topics discussed at the Changing Media Summit are varied and cater to a large number of industries. Past topics have included real-time analytics, consumer engagement with mobile media, scaling and monetisation of media platforms, creative advertising, content delivery strategies, branding, and investment opportunities in the digital media industry.
Organisers and Location
The Changing Media Summit is organised by The Guardian Media Group. The event takes place at the company's headquarters in London, and is usually held during the month of March.
