1st Annual Global M&E Day Arrives in London (Virtually) on 2 July

Now in its fourth straight year, the Media & Entertainment Services Alliance (MESA) is bringing their popular New York City based M&E Day event to London and MESA Europe will host the first annual Global Media & Entertainment Day event on Thursday, 2 July 2020, as a worldwide virtual event.  The afternoon sessions and breakouts will feature data, cloud, IT and security experts, across the media and entertainment technology ecosystem, weighing in on and demonstrating the latest solutions on hand for — and the challenges facing — the industry in today’s global remote-work business environment.

Media and entertainment companies have largely settled into a work-from-home way of keeping their businesses running and discovering advantages along the way: far less overhead, near-normal levels of productivity, and a workforce that feels safe and comfortable reporting to the job day in and day out. How M&E continues to function remotely going forward, the tools that can help ease the process, and the concerns weighing on content owners’ minds will all be addressed at the Global M&E Day.

“MESA produced two successful virtual events in May and we are excited to introduce the software to our European member companies and content community,” said MESA President & CEO, Guy Finley. “In addition to multi-track sessions, where attendees can choose the topic most important to their work, the networking breaks and reception allow for one-on-one or group networking that are essential to MESA’s communities. Our members and studio executives agree that we’ve transformed our regular in-person conferences into an online virtual event experience.”

Registration and networking opens at 12:30 British Summer Time (BST) with  general sessions beginning at 13:00 where smart content, localization, cybersecurity, content protection, and cloud accessed or cloud-enabled technologies, will be discussed and attendees will gain insights into what’s worked thus far, what can be improved upon, the ways we can scale our collective business up in both the short and long term, and what your company might need to address our new way of working together on a global scale in the entertainment supply chain.

Presentations around metadata, AI & ML, localisation technologies and data management trends in the worldwide industry (Smart Content), and how studios, networks and every content owners are evolving their efforts to protect our industry through risk management (Content Protection Summit), will be on the agenda, with a special focus revolving around how, today, M&E has become reliant on worldwide collaboration.

Global M&E Day is being produced by the Media & Entertainment Services Alliance (MESA), in cooperation with MESA Europe and in association with CDSA and the Smart Content Council.
