Industry Experts For Media Production Show

The Media Production Show has confirmed the line-up of industry experts who will be speaking at this year's event. The MPS takes place at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London, on 9 and 10 June and will bring together TV, film and commercials across pre-production, production and post-production.

The latest speakers confirmed for the show include:

• Luke Lewis; Buzzfeed's founding Editor and Head of European Growth
• Tania Alexander; Director of Factual Entertainment at Studio Lambert
• Andrew Muggleton; leading DoP and BAFTA Craft nominee
• Andrew Preece; Executive Director, Sunset + Vine.

They join industry leaders Nicky Sargent (founder of post house The Farm), Christopher Nundy (BBC Innovations Manager who will share his learning on Virtual Reality), and the Invisible VFX team from Deluxe's Rushes.

The Keynote theatre at the Media Production Show will offer in-depth reviews of how to direct an award-winning drama. There will also be a 'no holds barred' discussion around Successful Women in TV and Film. Leading documentary film makers will discuss how to break down barriers in order to deliver the stories on hard-hitting subject matters, while a showcase on The Challenges of Live Event Multi Camera Shoots with Hamish Hamilton of Done and Dusted will also be held. Mr Hamilton will share his knowledge on how to successfully manage the high pressure environment of the Superbowl half-time show with a global audience of 120 million viewers.

Charlotte Wheeler, Event Director, Media Production Show, said: "The power, range and scale of the speakers is testament to the clear need in the UK for a forum to bring expertise from across the industry who are willing to engage, share and educate not only their clients, but peers and those entering the business, who will no doubt be the stars of the future. The calibre of the speakers is one of the most exciting aspects of the show and we are delighted to offer access to what we believe to be the most diverse range of speakers assembled.

"Our speakers range from Richard Davidson-Houston, Head of All 4 and Digital Content at Channel 4 and the National Theatres' Emma Keith to YouTube star Harrison Web and Suffragette location manager Harriet Lawrence, all of whom have embraced the show and are prepared to share experiences and knowledge within a forum that is very inclusive. We don't charge for our seminar sessions as we believe that the combination of key trade and craft exhibitors together with the knowledge share from the seminar programme will help to firmly establish the Media Production Show as the leading UK event for the production and post production community."
