AMP in Media and Entertainment | Program Overview
Leadership Forums
Leadership Forums make up a key part of the Media AMP. During each module, participants have the benefit of exclusive, unparalleled access to some of the top leaders in the media and entertainment industry.
The Media AMP's Leadership Forums allow participants to interact with top industry leaders in a private, personal setting. They feature one-on-one conversations with industry "movers and shakers" and executives who are changing the face of the business. Sessions include both "C-suite" leaders from traditional media companies, as well as innovative entrepreneurs who are helping redefine the new media landscape.
The program leverages its New York City and Los Angeles locations to bring important industry players to each Leadership Forum. Forums comprise presentations, question-and-answer sessions and interviews to encourage dialogue and interaction. A variety of media and entertainment segments are represented, including senior management, hands-on production, product development, finance and entrepreneurship.
These off-the-record conversations enrich the program's academic content by giving participants an inside look at the management challenges, victories and strategies that industry players face on a daily basis.
