The session will “explore creative and commercial trends driving transformation across all sectors, how these are informing All3Media’s strategy and shaping the wider future for the global industry,” according to a statement.
Since becoming CEO in 2015, Turton has led a global strategy that has built All3Media, now owned by RedBird IMI, into a world-class content business spanning production, distribution and digital media companies. Turton has grown the group from 19 production companies and labels a decade ago, to more than 40 today, responsible for some of the world’s most successful and well-travelled titles.
Its shows include breakout format “The Traitors” (with 30 versions to date); natural history series “Wild Isles,” presented by David Attenborough; award-winning format “Gogglebox”; BAFTA award-winning reality competition series “Squid Game: The Challenge”; makeover format “Sort Your Life Out”; Keanu Reeves-fronted documentary “Brawn: The Impossible F1 Story” for Disney+; quiz show “Lingo”; hit comedy “Fleabag”; period drama “Call the Midwife”; and the U.K.’s top-selling drama series worldwide “Midsomer Murders.”
Lucy Smith, director of Mipcom and Mip London, said: “Jane Turton is one of the most insightful and intuitive executives in global television with a deep experience of each area of the industry, unrivalled commercial acumen and a proven track record of championing talent, creativity and delivering growth at All3Media. There is no one who will be in Cannes who wouldn’t benefit from hearing Jane’s take on the current outlook and how to adapt in transitional times.”
