As part of its focus on France this year, the upcoming edition of MipTV will welcome a prestigious keynote roster of French executives.
Named the Mip Game Changers, the keynote speakers include Delphine Ernotte Cunci, president of France Televisions; Gilles Pelisson, TF1 Group president; Maxime Saada, Canal Plus Group’s chairman and CEO; Regina Hatchondo, Arte France’s managing director; as well as Stéphane Courbit, Marco Bassetti and François De Brugada from Banijay Group; and Pascal Breton and Patrick Wachsberger who will be discussing their new joint venture, Picture Perfect Federation.
During the sessions, the top executives will outline their strategic initiatives to reach global audiences, and will sketch out their vision of the industry’s challenges and opportunities, including the international alliances, technological innovations and the delinearisation of content consumption.
