Produced by Informa Telecoms & Media in collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers, and now in its fourth year, the European Media Leaders Summit is firmly established as a pre-eminent forum for the industry's key decision makers to debate the strategic issues and challenges facing Europe's media landscape. This annual event brings together senior executives in the broadcast, communications and finance industries from across Europe and the US for a day and a half of high-level debate.

Seismic changes in the shape of the broadcasting sector continue to challenge existing players and open doors to new powerhouses. Industry structures are shifting, value chains being reinvented, and the consumer-as-individual is at the heart of it all. This year's gathering of industry leaders and shapers once again provided a forceful insight into where broadcasting and its related sectors are heading at breakneck speed.
