About Our Events
The Entertainment Analytics Conference is an annual gathering of 30-60 leaders from industry and academia focused on the innovative use of data and analytics in entertainment. The goal is to encourage sharing and learning so all participants can stay ahead of the curve.
Why attend?
Cutting-edge research
Learn from leaders at companies like Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Spotify alongside academics from Carnegie Mellon and Chapman University. Every talk presents original work, not recycled conference material.
Candid discussion
The Chatham House Rule means participants share openly without attribution. You hear what people actually think, not what their communications team approved.
Curated attendance
Invite-only, 30-60 people. Small enough that you speak to everyone, large enough to cover the breadth of the industry. Every attendee is expected to contribute, not just listen.
Cross-industry perspective
Movies, music, TV, streaming, publishing, gaming, fashion, and sports. The most interesting insights come from seeing how one sector's solution applies to another's problem.
Practical, not theoretical
Talks focus on real business problems: optimising ticket prices, measuring content value, forecasting streaming, understanding playlist economics. Methods you can take back and apply.
Lasting connections
The community keeps sharing between events. Relationships built here lead to collaborations, hires, and partnerships across the entertainment data science world.
The format
Each session is 30 minutes: a 15-minute presentation highlighting an innovative use of data or methodology, followed by 15 minutes of quality discussion from the room. The discussion builds on and sometimes challenges the concepts from the presentation.
We hold events in both the US (Los Angeles) and the UK, bringing together perspectives from across the global entertainment industry.
Who attends?
It varies, but typically it includes leaders from companies like ABC Television Group, Amazon, Apple, BBC, Carnegie Mellon University, Chapman University, Disney, DreamWorks, FOX, Google, HBO, Hulu, MasterClass, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Parrot Analytics, RIAA, Sony Music, Sony Pictures, Spotify, Universal Music Group, Warner Brothers, and many more.
The conference is as much about community as it is about learning. It's important to be both generous with your knowledge and curious to learn from others. The result is a unique opportunity to engage with some of the most innovative minds in the industry.
