EUROVISION CREATIVE FORUM 2015 - DAY 1 1
10TH CREATIVE FORUM 15 SEPTEMBER 2015 BERLIN DAY 2 AGENDA
In collaboration with #ECF15 2 EUROVISION CREATIVE FORUM 2015
EDITORIAL
Dear Colleagues,
It will not be news to any of you that the TV industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented change.
Competition from the private sector is intense, with the rise of IP-only delivery platforms and new business models for commercial broadcasters. Throughout all this, content remains king and industry-level knowledge-sharing is more important than ever. The EBU aims to support its Members by providing events such as the EUROVISION Creative Forum, offering content exchange, networking and knowledge-sharing exclusively to broadcasters with a public-service remit.
The scope expands with each event. Last year's addition of fiction formats was a great success, and this year's innovation is the inclusion of multi-plaform formats, including radio, mobile apps and specific genres such as comedy.
The long-term vision for the EUROVISION Creative Forum is to continue this expansion in response to the feedback and the involvement of the participants, and to retain its position as the leading hub for the exchange of cutting-edge programme-making ideas from EBU Members for EBU Members.
We hope you will enjoy the 10th EUROVISION Creative Forum and hope you enjoy a great time in Berlin!
With kind regards,
Jean Philip de Tender Bettina Brinkmann EBU Media Director Head of TV EUROVISION CREATIVE FORUM 2015 3
We are especially happy to celebrate a very special anniversary with you this year, the 10th EUROVISION Creative Forum!
We held this conference for the first time in Berlin in 2006 as a way to gain a unique and more professional perspective on formats and formatting public service television programmes. The idea was born in the EUROVISION Formats Core Group and developed in particular by Bettina Brinkmann and Markus Sterky. Now this meeting has become a permanent fixture of the autumn calendar of public service programme-makers.
The number of delegates has more than doubled over the years and along with it the number of creative days, with a second conference day that casts a spotlight on other genres. Once again this year we have something new for you: the Entertainment Industry Forum on the third day of this week, which will provide you with a glimpse into the other side of the format business, represented by distribution companies.
From your feedback we know that you appreciate the Berlin experience as a convenient opportunity for specific networking, and that you value the many opportunities provided by the creative days. Let’s share new programmes and new ideas here in Berlin, let’s discover many new values for public service programmes and of course let’s celebrate together.
Thank you to the Formats Core Group and to the colleagues at the EBU for great years of cooperation as we are proud to be a partner of this event.
