So why are some companies still optimistic about the future? This conversation brings together operators who are actively building and backing content businesses across multiple fronts. Rather than retreating in the face of industry contraction, they’re rethinking what a scaled content business looks like in 2026 and beyond. Expect a candid discussion on where capital is really flowing, how business models are evolving, and where they are placing bets, including YouTube, vertical video, creator representation, as well as "traditional" high quality scripted and unscripted film and television. Where are the real opportunities right now? What’s overhyped? And what does a “successful” content company even look like today? Featuring:

In Conversation With: Georgie Holt, FlightStory (11:30am - 12:15pm)Ivor Petrak What if the biggest mistake in media right now... is waiting for permission? While much of the entertainment industry is still chasing commissions, FlightStory is building something else entirely: an audience-first machine that doesn’t ask what platforms want... it tests what audiences can't ignore. FlightStory’s Diary of a CEO, led by superstar Steven Bartlett, is now the world’s #2 podcast with nearly 16 million subscribers on YouTube and 80 million monthly views and listens – economics that rival legacy media. What Bartlett, Holt and their team have built is a system. Not just for content, but for predicting culture. And according to Holt, that system points toward a very different future. One where the next billion-dollar media company is... built around a single human. In this conversation, Holt pulls back the curtain on how FlightStory identifies what matters before it trends, turns creators into scalable franchises, and uses the internet not as a distribution channel, but as a live testing ground. This isn’t about making content. It’s about engineering demand. Inside the session:
Because what looks like storytelling… is actually data. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Featuring:

The Director’s Cut: AI, Automation, and the Value of Human Creativity (1:30pm - 2:15pm)Ivor Petrak Artificial intelligence is already reshaping the creative process, raising a central question: under what conditions should it be used? In this session, the Directors Guild of Canada introduces two initiatives: the Filmmakers Manifesto on the Value of Human Creativity and the Low-Carbon GenAI Toolkit, developed with support from Telefilm Canada, which measures generative AI’s carbon footprint. Together, they argue that guilds do not simply respond to technological change, they help define it. Through discussion with directors, funders, and producers, this session explores what responsible AI adoption looks like in practice. Sponsored by: Featuring:

What can traditional TV learn from digital-native creators? How are projects being built to move across platforms? And how is Canada’s low-cost, resourceful model shaping a more agile, globally relevant industry? This panel explores how a creator-savvy mindset — grounded in agility, ownership, and platform awareness — can help content not just get made, but get seen and stand out. **This is a partner presentation.
