The Media Festival

Date: 
Nov 17 2010 - Nov 19 2010
Location: 
Manchester UK

The Media Festival is the only event that addresses the creative and commercial realities faced by the digital content industries covering games, music, TV, film, mobile, online and beyond.


Now in its third year, it aims to debunk digital myths, demystify digital business models and develop new ways of working, new collaborations and new approaches to the business of content creation and distribution.


The Media Festival is delighted to welcome new Festival Chair Julie Meyer. Julie is founder and CEO of Ariadne Capital, a specialist technology investment and advisory firm, backing entrepreneurs across the digital media and technology space. She brings a wealth of experience, having co-founded legendary entrepreneur networking forum First Tuesday, and heads a new advisory committee comprising some of the most dynamic media executives around, including:


Feargal Sharkey, CEO, UK Music
Dan Hon, Founder, Six to Start
Peter Smith, President, NBC Universal International
Adrian van Klaveren, Controller, BBC Radio Five Live
Tom Thirlwall, CEO, Big Balls Films


We look forward to a fresh new Media Festival for 2010, incorporating the best of what has gone before, and a raft of new elements.
