Digital Hollywood: The AI & Entertainment Summit

Monday, July 20th, 2026

8 – 8:50 PM Eastern Time Zone

Session I: A Virtual Event

Hollywood IP: The Creativity Engine: Film · TV · Video · Games · Social Media

Hollywood has always been the world's greatest IP factory — from the golden age of cinema to the golden age of television to the birth of the blockbuster franchise. But today the platforms have changed everything. The insatiable appetite of YouTube, Netflix, TikTok, Instagram, Roblox and every emerging social and gaming universe is forcing Hollywood's greatest brands to rethink, reinvent and reposition across every screen simultaneously. Dominance on one platform is no longer enough. The new goal is total platform presence — film, television, video, games and social media all feeding the same IP universe. In this roundtable we bring together the producers, studio strategists, game designers and platform leaders who are building Hollywood's next creative empire across every screen on the planet.
