Media, Entertainment & Information

The Industry Partnership programme provides the CEOs and senior executives of the world's leading companies the opportunity to engage with their peers to define and address critical industry issues throughout the year. Identifying, developing and acting upon these specific industry issues with other key stakeholders is fundamental to the Forum's drive to deliver sustainable social development founded upon economic progress.

The Media, Entertainment and Information industry is facing more changes than ever before, and it is therefore critical to combine the efforts of all stakeholders as well as adjacent industries to understand and address this media revolution. Dialogue and partnership among different stakeholders provide leaders from this industry with a global platform to create a sustainable business environment and effectively exercise their corporate citizenship role.

The Future of Content
Storytelling is changing its format. Increasingly, it is moving from a singular, linear narrative, delivered via “one-way media” (such as print and broadcast), to content that can be delivered via many platforms simultaneously. These mediums include devices such as tablets, social media sites and gaming platforms. The Future of Content explores the future of multiplatform content creation.
