Digital Entertainment

Monday, June 21th, 14:00 – 18:00 hrs, 
In cooperation with Pixelpark AG and MME Me, Myself & Eye Entertainment AG

There's no business like show business - and in no other genre the challenges of a digitalized media world are getting clearer. The enormous threats and opportunities are not limited to questions about content. New players are entering the market - via set-top-boxes, internet and mobile- pursuing genuine strategies. The central question is, therefore, which forms of entertainment are needed and who will have access to content. The Cologne Conference & Screenings will take a look at three strategic options for companies to compete in the new marketplace: Customer Relationship Management, Audience Marketing and Digital Rights Management.

Presenter: Dr. Thomas Clark, Editor Team IT/Media, FTD, New York
