Pretty butch line-up so far for the Royal Television Society's London conference, coming up on September 9th.
Speakers announced today include Lord Hall and The Two Jimmies, Harding and Purnell; Chase Carey, 21st Century Fox; JB Perrette, Discovery; Jeremy Darroch, BSkyB; Kevin Lygo, ITV; Jim Ryan, Liberty Global; John Hardie, ITN; John Ryley, Sky News; Stewart Purvis, Professor, City University; Steve Hewlett, broadcaster & consultant; and Sir Peter Bazalgette, President of RTS. The other gender is represented by Lorraine Heggessey of Boom Pictures and Kirsty Wark. The only sprinkling of diversity is brought by Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.
Early booking for the day, entitled Power, Politics and The Media, costs £930 including VAT. I wonder why diversity remains an industry isssue...
