Lord Puttnam is to deliver a Keynote address at this year's IBC2016 Conference.

Scheduled for Sunday, 11 September, the Oscar-winning film producer, educationalist and politician will discuss a range issues including the growth of Facebook and YouTube; the impact of technology on creativity; the likely effects of the UK's EU Referendum vote on the creative sector and the media's role and responsibility in trying to reverse the potentially catastrophic loss of public trust.

Lord Puttnam is the Chair of Atticus Education, an online education company based in Ireland. Atticus, through an arrangement with BT Ireland, delivers interactive seminars on film and a variety of other subjects to educational institutions around the world. Lord Puttnam spent 30 years as an independent producer of award-winning films. He retired from film production in 1998 to focus on his work in public policy as it relates to education, the environment, and the creative and communications industries.

Entitled 'Transformation in the Digital Era: Leadership, strategy and creativity in media and entertainment', the IBC2016 Conference will see more than 300 executives sharing insights on key issues at the core of the entertainment, media and technology sector.
