The Media & Telecoms 2021 & Beyond conference returned for the 8th year on 9 and 10 March 2021. Due to the pandemic the event was entirely virtual and hosted by Enders Analysis and Deloitte and sponsored by Barclays and the Financial Times. 

With a stellar speaker line up, this invitation-only conference was highly informative and stimulating. The conference saw 1000 senior attendees hear some of the world’s leading media and communications executives describe and debate the forces shaping their businesses. 

The conference also featured thought provoking discussion panels:

Tech Panel - Media and Tech are working ever more closely together. Our prestigious panel explored key tech trends, ideas and challenges in content media, and ask if media companies have the right tools to compete. 

Advertising panel - They debated the evolution of the advertising industry as a post-cookie world looms, how to manage brand safety, the tension between brand and performance marketing, and the need for joy.

Video & Sport - Our sports panel explored the increasing disruption of broadcast rights, and the lasting wider impact the pandemic will have on sports in general. 

Production Panel - Our production panel assessed how the sector has been affected by, and risen to, the challenges of the past year and how its business models are changing with the inevitable rise of the SVODs.

Enders Analysis hosted the Women & TV conference on Monday 2 December 2019 at Channel4. The event highlighted, showcased and celebrated the female half of the population. These decision-makers, entrepreneurs and colleagues are highly desirable, but frequently misunderstood, audiences for advertisers. More women than ever before are at work, many enjoy unprecedented financial resources in 2019.

Our keynote speaker was the inspiring Alison Rose, CEO at Royal Bank of Scotland, discussing her report on female entrepreneurship and unlocking the potential for the UK economy. Our Director of Research, Alice Enders also discussed female entrepreneurship, wealth and spending patterns. The appeal of female audiences for advertisers was covered by Nathalie Burdet, CMO for Kantar, Alex Mahon, CEO for Channel 4, Jane Millichip, CCO for Sky Studios and Reemah Sakaan, Group Launch Director - BritBox UK & SVP Creative & Editorial BritBox US.  

Claire Enders with co-host Kevin Mathers, Country Sales Director at Google UK, celebrated some of the key achievements the dinners have bought to the cause over the years creating a legacy for the NSPCC and Childline, raising over £12.5m to date. The dinner began with welcoming remarks from Claire and Kevin.  The NSPCC then presented some of their most recent triumphs and highlighted the areas that need further support. Actress and Childline ambassador Natalie Dormer provided her perspective on the continued importance of the work that Childline does to protect the welfare of children across the UK.

Each year a select list of 120 CEOs, Chairmen, board members and other senior executives are invited to attend. The continuous support the industry offers was evident in the number of conversations at dinner with offers of lending time and expertise to help the NSPCC achieve their goals and company donations.
