The CMP Game Group, host of the industry-leading Game Developers Conference (GDC), and entertainment trade publication THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER will be co-producing the inaugural Hollywood and Games Summit. Editorial teams from both organizations are now collaborating on the program agenda.
Hollywood studios and video game publishers are increasingly looking to each other for creative and business ideas that will lead to the next hottest video game or movie blockbuster. The summit will allow leaders from the respective industries to interact and discuss best practices for strategically marketing original IP via both media to greatest effect. The conference also will feature discussions on such topics as content development, rights management, production, art, music and design.
Focused sessions, small-scale exhibits and networking opportunities will be available through the event.
