In addition to Gotlieb, the other keynote guests are: Paula Kerger, President and CEO of PBS; Mark Lazarus, Chairman of the NBC Sports Group; Rob Marcus, President and COO of Time Warner Cable; Les Moonves, President and CEO of CBS Corp.; Jessica Reif Cohen, First VP and Managing Director of BOA / Merrill Lynch; Tom Rogers, CEO and President of TiVo; and Josh Sapan, President and CEO of AMC Networks who will be joined by Mark Johnson, the executive producer of "Breaking Bad" which is one of AMC's leading, award-winning signature series.


The keynote interviews will cover such topics as: the current advertising environment; the role of viewer-supported programming; the role of sports in appointment-viewing; innovating pay TV; the future of broadcast television and cable networks; the financial forecast for the industry; the role of technology in the viewing experience and the importance of signature series to a network's brand.

The three panel discussions at this conference will explore the on-screen business from the "traditional" to the "new" across a variety of delivery options, including theaters, TVs, electronic signage, computer monitors, and handheld mobile devices. There will be one session that will specifically focus on the latest distribution technologies and another that looks at the life-cycle of movies from content creation and production to theatrical release and then through mass syndication and, yet a third session that will focus on the changing role of sponsorship in a dynamic advertising market.
