The Business of Media

The Business of Media Breakfast Sessions at the Ivy Club

A private event series for London’s senior media leaders.

Over the last decade, online technologies have transformed the way that people view, read, create and deliver media. However, while technology has leapt ahead, the business models underpinning the media industry have often not kept pace.

Our breakfast series examine a different facet of the media industry at each session, and these sessions are designed to encourage cross-sharing of thoughts, ideas and models so that our industry continues to evolve and thrive over the years to come. Hosted by Paul Naha-Biswas, and moderated by media commentator Kate Bulkley, a panel of senior commercial leaders will discuss how the media industry is changing and what this means for the business of media to an audience of media leaders and Ivy Club members.
