One week left to secure early bird tickets

Holland and Rosen

Banijay UK supremo Patrick Holland and UKTV commissioning boss Hilary Rosen are the first two speakers confirmed for Industry Question Time panel at the Broadcast Summit.

The high-profile duo will be part of a five-strong panel fielding questions on the shape, size, prospects and performance of the British TV industry. Delegates will be able to submit questions via the event app.
