The Content Protection Summit, produced by Variety and the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA), is a gathering of executives from across entertainment to focus on securing our companies' most valuable assets — our content — as well as enhancing our businesses in today's global environment of piracy & cyber-attack. As the entertainment industry move toward online services and digital products, we are experiencing a "perfect storm" of threats to our business, yet it is also a time of vast opportunity, disruptive business models, and remarkable innovation.
Whether you are a business exec, security, operations, anti-piracy, legal, or other role that touches this broad set of subjects, this Summit is for you; we are bringing together the key thought, process, and innovation leaders for a full day of deep-dives as well as "inspirational snippets" to yield clear areas of best-practices, insights and experiences, and introductions to other leaders that you might have heard of but never formally met.
Building on the success of the last year's inaugural Summit, this year's event will introduce an expanded format that enhances the relevance for our broad range of topics, while still leveraging the fact that across all aspects of Entertainment (Movies, Software, Games, Television, Music, Publishing), we have significant areas of best-practice leverage and opportunity…and ultimately are all in this together.
