Part 1

08:30: REGISTRATION & BREAKFAST

09:30: WELCOME

Cathy Newman, Broadcaster & Journalist.

09:35: KEYNOTE – GROWTH FOR EVERYONE

Dame Carolyn Fairbairn DBE, Businesswoman & former Director General of the CBI in conversation with Ed Richards, Managing Partner, Flint Global

09:55 SPORT FOR EVERYONE

This session explores the relationship between major sporting events on free TV and the impact that mass exposure has on athletes, on communities, and on the nation. Drawing on the experiences of last year’s World Cups, Euros and Commonwealth Games, and the Olympics and Paralympics in 2021, we reflect on the short and long-term influences that national sporting events have on audiences. How does free TV coverage influence participation in sport? Are there certain events that should be accessible to all, and if so, how can this be delivered?

  • Tim Bridge, Lead Partner for Deloitte’s Sports Business Group
  • Christine Ohuruogu MBE, Olympic, World & Commonwealth Champion
  • Mark Lawrie, CEO, StreetGames
  • Barbara Slater OBE, Director, BBC Sport

Chaired by Dan Walker, Broadcaster & Journalist

10:40 TV FOR EVERYONE

In this rallying call to the industry we hear why maintaining the universality of public service broadcasting will be even more vital in the next phase of our digital age, and why when we’re beginning to take connection for granted, it’s crucial that we all stay truly connected – to the best TV in the world, and to each other.

Jonathan Thompson, CEO, Everyone TV

10:55 - 11:20 COFFEE BREAK

Part 2

11.20: KEYNOTE – SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Patrick Holland, Executive Chairman, Banijay UK in conversation with James Graham OBE, Playwright & Screenwriter.

11:40 BENEFITING EVERYONE

In this session we reflect on the contribution of public service broadcasting to our economy, our democracy and culture, and consider its role in modern society. How can the case be made for the concept of a national public service broadcasting system in a global TV market amid increasingly fragmented viewing behaviours? What does such a system offer UK plc and its citizens and consumers, and looking ahead, how should Government be thinking about the system’s evolution?

  • Claire Enders, Founder, Enders Analysis
  • Jess Phillips MP
  • Sir John Whittingdale OBE MP
  • Stephen Bush, Associate Editor & Columnist, Financial Times

Chaired by Kamal Ahmed, Editor-in-Chief and Co-founder, The News Movement

12:25: AN INDUSTRY FOR EVERYONE

This session will open with an overview of the progress that’s been made to date on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the TV industry and where we need to go next. The panel will then consider a particular topic related to making the TV industry more inclusive, that of progression. What are the barriers to, and solutions for, bringing on board and retaining talent from diverse backgrounds off-screen? How do we ensure individuals can progress at all different levels of our industry? And how do we avoid a diverse talent drain from TV?

  • Vikki Cook, Head of EDI for UK Broadcasting, Ofcom
