11.30 Getting digital content to the consumer
Digital is now a well-established option for viewing movies and TV, but remains a long way from fulfilling its promise to provide anytime, anywhere access – and consumption is still lagging way behind traditional distribution.

14.30 Supply chain focus: Cutting costs without cutting corners
Declining DVD volumes, plummeting prices, slower-than-anticipated Blu-ray growth – and on top of this the slow climb out of recession … it's not surprising that cutting costs is the mantra of every company in the home entertainment sector. A panel of speakers from across the supply chain discusses ways to boost the bottom line.

10.15 Unlocking Interoperability - will initiatives like DECE work?
Allowing consumers to access content how and where they want is the home entertainment industry's latest Holy Grail. Can the interoperability solutions being proposed really combine the transparency and accessibility that today's consumers want with the security that content owners require? Will this be enough to encourage consumers to buy movies digitally? Or is the business of selling movies over digital platforms destined to become an increasingly niche market in favour of VOD in a market hampered by fragmented studio and platform strategies?

11.30 Blu-ray Disc and 3D content: the perfect combination?
A 3D theatrical release is becoming standard for big ticket animated movies while consumer electronics companies are lining up to launch home 3D hardware. But how close is the industry to establishing common standards for 3D at home? And could 3D prove to be Blu-ray's 'killer app'?

14.45 Moving with the times: Keeping up with consumer behaviour (SPONSORED by Digital Entertainment Group Europe)
How much are today's consumers prepared to pay to see a movie – and how long are they prepared to wait to do so? Which is most important: quality, convenience or price? Is cost or timeliness the primary driver of illegal downloading? Back by popular demand, PEVE's 'on-stage focus group' gives you the opportunity to ask real consumers the burning questions you need answered.
