Programming for this year’s events will feature the “State of Producing” session, a series on the future of AI from a producer’s perspective. There will also be discussions and a behind-the-scenes look at how critically acclaimed series from HBO such as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “How to With John Wilson,” Max’s “Tokyo Vice” and “Hacks” and Fox’s “Accused” are developed “From Pitch to Series.” Attendees can look forward to dialogue centered around the starting point of selling a show and how show creators, producers, and studio executives greenlit them.
“This year’s Produced By Conference program will ignite meaningful conversations around the current and future state of the industry and the producing profession,” said Producers Guild of America presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald De Line. “We look forward to coming together with our peers to learn, engage with each other, and begin conversations that will continue beyond the conference.”
In addition to FOX Studio Lot, sponsors for Produced By include BENlabs, Box, Cadillac, Delta Air Lines, FOX, Glenfiddich Scotch Whisky, HBO|Max, Honolulu Film Office, Massachusetts Film Office, National Geographic Documentary Films, Sunset Studios and Wrapbook.
