Whether you work for a traditional media company fighting off disruption or head a technology startup shaking up the way media is delivered, Code Media has the insights and inspiration you need to compete. Immerse yourself in the trends and topics shaping media today during this exclusive, two-day event. Here’s a glimpse of the speakers you’ll hear from in February — including a rare interview with our keynote speaker, Eddy Cue. Eddy Cue, SVP, Internet Software and Services, Apple Arguably one of the one of the most powerful people in media, Eddy Cue is Apple’s senior vice president for internet software and services. He touches everything from Siri to Apple Pay. In the media business, he’s the guy you talk to when you talk to Apple about deals to deliver movies, music and television. Roy Price, Vice President, Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Studios Roy Price heads up Amazon Studios and runs content for Amazon video, which means he’s the guy responsible for groundbreaking shows like “Transparent.” More broadly, he’s the executive trying to help the commerce giant plot a new strategy as an entertainment heavyweight. Courteney Monroe, CEO, National Geographic Channel So how do you run and build a traditional TV network when your competition includes the likes of Apple and Amazon? Courteney Monroe, the CEO of National Geographic’s TV operations, which reach some 500 million people worldwide, will share her strategy and insights. Brian Robbins, Founder, AwesomenessTV Brian Robbins got his start in traditional TV — first as an actor, then as a successful producer. Now he runs AwesomenessTV, a digital studio and network aimed at the teens and tweens who don’t watch traditional TV anymore. Awesomeness figured out YouTube early, and now it is expanding its reach to all the big video platforms. Ashley McCollum, General Manager, Tasty at BuzzFeed If you’ve ever used Facebook, you’ve seen what Ashley McCollum does for a living: She runs Tasty, the enormously popular food-video franchise BuzzFeed hatched just last year. Now it’s a core part of BuzzFeed’s business, and its recipe videos dominate Facebook and other video platforms. |
