Chris Clarke
Chief creative officer
LBi
Chris will explore how the consumer is more controlled than controlling, how the business model of digital media has promoted bad journalism and how Silicon Valley has produced winner-takes-all business models which put nothing back into the economy in terms of jobs or money. What does that mean for consumers, the audience, and everyone in the content value chain; from brands to channels?

Session 2
Boxing Clever
A new breed of platforms are taking the lead in the battle for control of audiences and revenue. In this session we hear from new on-demand services Cirkus and Wuaki TV what they want from the content industry, and how their commercial models are changing the game and from SkyIQ about how it is evolving a more targeted approach by using digital in increasingly clever ways. Each of these perspectives have a significant impact on the traditional landscape and will shape what happens next in what was once known as television.

Social Talent - The next generation of TV stars
One tweet from the right account can deliver more traffic to a website than several spots on prime time TV. Millions of subscribers are engaging with video channels created by individuals broadcasting themselves. The dream of user generated TV - made for nothing but making money - is now a reality. In this session you'll meet the player and the platform shaping the social video market, with a chance to ask the next generation of on screen talent what they intend to do with the industry they have inherited.

BAFTA and how to get there
The Academy was formed on 16 April 1947 when a group of the most eminent names in the British film production industry gathered in a room at the Hyde Park Hotel. The great film director David Lean was appointed Chairman. Their fundamental aim was "to recognise those who had contributed outstanding creative work towards the advancement of British film." Nowadays the British Academy of Film and Television Arts supports, develops and promotes the artforms of the moving image, by identifying and rewarding excellence, inspiring practitioners and benefiting the public. The promotion of excellence isn't something that only happens at Awards ceremonies. There is an equally powerful role that the Academy plays at its headquarters at 195 Piccadilly and across its nations and regions, in cinemas, schools and communities in the UK and US.
The Academy's full address is 195 Piccadilly, London W1J 9LN.
The nearest tube stations are Piccadilly Circus and Green Park.
