At the present time we are planning that Content LA will take place on 15 May 2020, despite the short term travel restrictions introduced by the US government today. We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and will refund delegates and sponsors should the event be cancelled, or if we are not able to move it to a new date that suits. Please contact [email protected] for more information and stand by for further updates.
Leading execs join the agenda for Content LA to discuss the changing creative and business landscape, and the opportunities, challenges and threats this holds for creators, producers, channels, platforms and distributors over the next 24 months.
