Why should you be at Playback Summit? 

White Pine Pictures’ Cracked and Bristow Global Media’s Hidden Talent are just two recent examples of Canadian series involving financing and/or production assistance from Group M Entertainment. Get in the room with “the man with the plan,” Peter Tortorici, to find out what’s next in the fast-changing world of TV and new media production

On the streaming side, we’ve paired online youth entertainment pioneer Mondo Media with adventuresome Canadian indie broadcaster  Blue Ant Media to discuss their recent collaboration and successful strategies for producing and distributing web-first content.

And because we know it’s all easier said than done, we created a panel on how to build business strategies for web series without going broke, moderated by self-described “transmedia grifter” Carrie Cutforth-Young and a diverse panel of successful producers: Smiley Guy Studios, Insight Production Company, Shaw Media and JLeaver Presentations.

Also find out how to take your production business across the border, build a thriving band of superfans, get the jump on your next interactive entertainment project and create YouTube content with reach.

Throughout the day, you’ll also have the opportunity to meet with Canada’s six biggest broadcasters for our sidebar of “30-minutes with” sessions, featuring smaller groups and opportunities to ask top programmers what they’d like to see on their development slate next.

Playback Summit Pass Giveaway Details

• Two Playback Summit passes will be awarded two separate winners (one each) at the end of a 48-hour period starting April 22 at 2 p.m.
• If the minimum number of contest entries is not met (2), then only one pass will be awarded to one winner.
• During the 48-hour period, one or more trivia questions will be posed on Twitter relating to Playback Summit. All correct responses will be pooled into a single draw, from which two winners will be selected.
• Winners will be selected via random draw. Each winner will be assigned a number based on the number of responses (i.e. between 1 and 10 if there are 10 entries) and two numbers will be selected using a random number generator.
• In order to be eligible, respondents must reply to @PlaybackOnline directly or use @PlaybackOnline in their response; the use of hashtag #PBSUM is encouraged but not required.
• Pass recipients will be notified on Twitter via Direct Message (DM); if the selected user is not following Playback (and therefore cannot be DM’d), they will be alerted via “reply” immediately following the draw. Those selected to receive a Summit pass have 24 hours to confirm receipt of their notification by responding to either the DM or reply.
• The selected recipient will then be directed to email a Playback representative and then will be registered for the event by Brunico Communications.
