During this unique 1-day workshop, we shall explore how to produce digital shows that can be distributed on multiple platforms, how to build communities and followers, and what current trends look like for brands, broadcasters and rights holders.
Expect insider insights, real-world case studies and expert perspectives on what is driving success on key digital platforms right now.
