MIPCOM has announced the keynote speakers for its 2016 event, taking place October 17-20 in Cannes. The opening keynote speech will be delivered by Kazuo Hirai, President and CEO of Sony Corporation, which is this year celebrating its 70th anniversary. Japan is the MIPCOM 2016 Country of Honor, making Hirai’s speaking slot even more apt for the event.
Additional “Media Mastermind” keynote speakers announced late last week are: Ben Sherwood, Co-Chair of Disney Media Networks and President of Disney-ABC Television; David Line, CEO of Participant Media; and Sophie Watts, President of STX Entertainment.
