MediaXchange’s DRAMA SUMMIT: NEW FRONTIERS, NEW PARTNERS – Los Angeles 24-26th June, will be held at the London West Hollywood hotel.

During this three day event we will be taking the bull by the horns to address new models for scripted drama and for an exciting insight into the fast evolving future of a more global TV drama industry. The impact on drama - its conception/creation, financing, production and distribution models – resulting from the avalanche of change now being experienced, will be the essence of this forum. How future audiences will best be accessed and serviced in the multi-platform world and the overriding need to understand where the money is to be made, are to be examined.

This will be a landmark event, in this current period of change, for professionals from around the globe to congregate in Los Angeles to consider the issues and varied opportunities available to them together, and individually. This discussion is vital for all TV drama professionals in this newly competitive and collaborative period in the global media industry. Leading producers of quality programming, studios and networks, writers and creators – drawn from across five continents -will all be given a significant profile at this Summit.

It is our intention for the Summit to have a galvanising effect on creative talent to pull together and recognize the opportunities new creative models and global collaboration will have on their working practices.

Such a forum can only help to promote an atmosphere, which forward looking senior industry executives have been seeking to achieve for some time, to evolve new processes for making, financing and distributing TV drama programming.
