09:30-10:30 The Business Case for European Content A European Film Forum Session co-organised with Creative Europe Media** (**Simultaneous Translation Provided In French, German, Spanish And Russian) (Room 116-117, Level 1) Europe prides itself on its unparalleled offer of both local and European films that are made each year, while cinema operators play a major role in raising awareness and providing access to this diverse selection. However, the market share of European films remains low compared to the select few US productions that continue to lead at the box office. Is there a way for Europe to produce and promote films that can resonate with a wider audience whilst celebrating its rich cultural diversity? Are there lessons to be learned from our US colleagues? Can a European film succeed in all territories?

10:30-11:45 Executive Roundtable Global Trends and Global Responses** (**Simultaneous Translation Provided In French, German, Spanish And Russian) (Room 116-117, Level 1) The global cinema industry is experiencing significant structural and technological change. Consolidation continues to affect not just the exhibition sector but is seen as an increasingly important factor in shaping the future of film distribution. And the accelerating pace of technological change shows no sign of abating, at a time when the financial support provided by the industry-wide VPF mechanism in many territories is coming to an end. If that weren t enough, improvements in the in-home experience driven by the emergence of new technologies and platforms is seen by some as providing a more serious competitive threat than ever to the future of the big screen. This session will bring together senior executives from the industry to discuss how they see the future of cinema, with representatives of the newly-established Global Cinema Federation explaining the potential role of that organisation in helping to address some of the strategic challenges facing the cinema business.

12:30 Gaming and esports for Cinema Competitive Gaming, or esports, is a nascent but rapidly growing entertainment sector, attracting significant interest from leading brands. It also captures the attention of cinema s most valued audience: young people and teenagers. While most of them watch esports on a small screen, creating and monetising live-events has already become a sizable business. This session will explore if cinema exhibition can be an additional experience platform for this dynamic activity and examine case studies from companies that have invested in and experiment with esports in cinemas.

Yet digital conversion of cinemas in particular has allowed screen advertising to compete more effectively with other media platforms for valuable advertising investment. This session will look at some of the ways that those changes have impacted on the sector and on the customer experience. And it will ask media agencies and brands how they now view cinema as an advertising platform what it does well and what it could do better.

With over half of the cinema-going population in Europe being female, and with changes in broader social attitudes brought about by developments such as the #MeToo movement, the time seems right to explore what more the industry could be doing to reach out to the female cinema
audience. What are the strategies that are proving effective, and what are the barriers to reaching the female audience more effectively?
