been THE forum for decision makers to hold candid conversations in a neutral
environment," said Pat Mitchell, president and chief executive officer of The
Paley Center for Media, in a statement. "As a result, the conversations that
have taken place at past IC forums have often had a direct impact on
developments in the global media industry. We anticipate that our November

participants from around the world."
