ITTV International Forum and TechInEntertainment, 4 November Hollywood

The ITTV International Forum and TechInEntertainment (TiE) returns to Los Angeles this November with a clear mission: to lead the conversation on innovation and strategic partnerships in global entertainment. Now in its sixth edition, the event will be held at NeueHouse Hollywood on November 4th and aims to provide a vital platform for dialogue, especially as Hollywood faces challenges ranging from the aftermath of the strikes, production contraction, and thousands of layoffs to shifts in content creation and distribution.

Over two days, the ITTV International Forum and TiE will welcome 40 industry leaders to delve into nine panels. These sessions, characterized by diverse international perspectives, offer a “‘State of the Industry’—an opportunity to reflect on the past year in film, television, and the technologies supporting them,” said Valentina Martelli, CEO of ITTV and co-founder of the Forum alongside Cristina Scognamillo. “While we were originally founded to strengthen the ties between Italy and the U.S., our focus has quickly expanded to global dialogue. Hollywood has faced strikes, consolidation, mass layoffs, and a talent exodus toward international markets in search of new opportunities. Our goal is to foster these discussions and create new business opportunities.”

The ITTV Forum, which has maintained its annual presence at the Venice International Film Festival, has become a crucial platform for dialogue between Hollywood and international entertainment industry professionals. A major point of discussion this year in Los Angeles will be Hollywood’s response to reduced content commissions, particularly through ad-supported streaming models. Panels like “Unearthing Stories in an Uncertain Landscape” will explore the repercussions from recent strikes and the impact of diminished production, exploring strategies on how to get a show on the air today. This year’s forum will also showcase the growing significance of sports entertainment, international co-productions, and immersive storytelling. Through the V-Nova PresenZ format, V-Nova Studios will offer attendees a glimpse into the next generation of visual experiences.

In addition to the panels, ITTV has launched the Showrunner Lab and Showrunner Immersive, two advanced training programs developed in collaboration with Fondazione Sistema Toscana, featuring international tutors from around the globe. There will also be presentations of new projects by Elisabetta De Dominis, Founder of Kepown, Giovanni Lodigiani of GL Sonic Works Production, and Luca Severi, CEO of LSPG Group.

The event is by invitation only. For more information, please write to info@ittvfestival.com.
