Join us for this panel bringing together leading archivists and preservation experts to explore how digital preservation can unlock long‑term value. Rather than treating digitisation as the final step, the session, sponsored by @Imagen_io, reframes digital preservation as an active, strategic investment that can drive efficiency and greater impact over time through stewardship.

When news breaks, infrastructure scale is not optional. Breaking stories erupt without warning, surge and subside unpredictably, and place uncompromising demands on the technology that carries them. This session, brought to you by @TVUNetworks, draws on that experience to examine what it takes to modernise global news distribution, what changes when infrastructure becomes software-defined, and what it means for any media organisation facing the same pressure: deliver more, faster, without increasing complexity or risk. We're excited to hear from Christelle Brausch (TVU Networks), Joseph Delshadian (#Reuters) and Johannes Heckmann (TVU Networks) at the #MPTS Broadcast Technology Theatre! 🔗Register for your free ticket today: bit.ly/mpts-2026-soci… 👉Discover the programme: bit.ly/mpts-2026-prog 📅13 May 2026 🕒15:35-16:00📍Olympia, London #MPTS #MPTS10Years #MPTS2026 #MediaTech #FilmTV #Networking #Virtual #VirtualProduction #Pixotope #Technology #Broadcasters #Workflows #Reuters #TVUNetworks #News

Virtual Production has transformed the way high-end drama, commercials and studio-based content are made: but is it always the right choice?

Representing 21% of the carbon footprint for the film and TV industries, choices around power planning and energy usage have a significant role to play in the fight to reduce the carbon footprint of productions. This SPARK panel will explore how productions are making the transition to clean temporary power on set and on location, and the momentum growing for the commitment to SPARK: Clean Temporary Power by 2030 - the UK’s film and TV industry’s roadmap, produced by our Sustainability Partner @BAFTAAlbert Join us to hear from speakers April Sotomayor (BAFTA albert), Beth Fairweather-Bloud (#Sky), Katherine Nash (The Bottle Yard Studios), Jono O'Reilly (NXTGENbps) 🔗Register for your free ticket today: bit.ly/mpts-2026-soci… 👉Discover the programme here: bit.ly/mpts-2026-prog 📅14 May 🕒11:20-11:50📍Olympia, London #MPTS #MPTS10Years #CreatorHub #MPTS2026 #ContentCreation #MediaTech #FilmTV #Studios #CreatorEconomy #BAFTAalbert #Sustainability #SPARK #CleanPower #Productions #CarbonFootprint

Useful or wasteful? As generative AI moves from experimental tool to the backbone of UK production, the industry faces a high-stakes environmental paradox. While AI-driven virtual production can eliminate the carbon-heavy necessity of international travel, the sheer computational power required to render high-fidelity synthetic media is creating a new, invisible footprint. By 2030, the global energy demand for AI data centres is projected to rival the consumption of mid-sized nations, forcing a radical rethink of how we define "green" production. Join us for this session at the #MPTS AI Media Zone with our speakers Muki Kulhan, Mohit Arora PhD (BBC R&D), Shaunagh Duncan (Fremantle) and Pietari Kääpä (University of Warwick) 🔗Register for your free ticket today: bit.ly/mpts-2026-soci… 👉Discover the programme: bit.ly/mpts-2026-prog 📅14 May - Olympia, London #MPTS #MPTS10Years #MPTS2026 #MediaTech #AI #AIMediaZone #Sustainability

AI has democratised content creation – but it’s also unleashed a tidal wave of low-quality, derivative and sometimes misleading material. In media and entertainment, where trust, creativity and craft are everything, “AI slop” poses a serious challenge.

We're thrilled to be welcoming Jake Bickerton (Broadcast Sport & Broadcast Tech), Fatou Jeng (Keno Media), Jenny Springett and Ben Stallard (Slapshot). 🔗Register for your free ticket today: bit.ly/mpts-2026-soci… 👉Discover the programme: bit.ly/mpts-2026-prog 📅14 May - Olympia, London #MPTS #MPTS10Years #MPTS2026 #MediaTech #AI #AIMediaZone #AISlop

We're excited to be welcoming Serlina Boyd to the #MPTS Creator Hub! This talk, inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s concept “the medium is the message,” highlights how film can be used as a tool to empower children – especially those from underrepresented backgrounds – to find and share their voice. By shifting children from consumers to creators, film becomes a powerful way to build confidence, shape identity and inspire the next generation to tell their own stories to the world. 🔗Register for your free ticket today: bit.ly/mpts-2026-soci… 👉Discover the programme: bit.ly/mpts-2026-prog 📅14 May 2026 🕒12:40-12:55📍Olympia, London #MPTS #MPTS10Years #MPTS2026 #MediaTech #FilmTV #CreatorHub #CreatorEconomy #ContentCreators #Sports #SportContent #IP #Creators #Audiences #Fans #TikTok #Youtube #Podcasts #Streaming #Creators
