The media and entertainment industry is rapidly changing, with tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google becoming major players. Technology, especially artificial intelligence, and the industry strikes are reshaping decades-old business models attracting new and bigger players. Media mogul, Rupert Murdoch, recognized this shift and sold his entertainment assets to Disney. Trillion-dollar Technology companies are now investing heavily in sports, which is the only content that can consistently aggregate a large, live audience.

Traditional broadcast networks are struggling to compete for this content, while theatrical film and streaming are struggling. Big mergers and acquisitions are on the horizon. The Marshall School of Business, Office of Executive Education, in partnership with the Center for the Digital Future, is presenting a one-day program, “Industry Dynamics & Disruption in Media and Entertainment” .

Showcasing influential and renowned executives and innovators in film, television, music, sports, and technology, the symposium offers attendees exploration, in-depth analysis, proprietary data, and real business cases to understand how the media and entertainment industry has changed over the past five years. The latter part of the day will use cutting-edge modeling to examine a range of different business environment scenarios.
