More Than a Movie: Eventizing the Theatrical Experience
Moderator: Anne Fitzgerald, Chief Legal Officer and EVP, Real Estate, Cineplex Entertainment
Panelists:
Alejandro Ramírez Magaña, CEO, Cinépolis
Cathleen Taff, President, Theatrical Distribution and Franchise, The Walt Disney Studios
Thinking the theatrical experience begins when the lights go down and an image appears on screen is the wrong way of thinking. In today’s fast-paced, digital, streaming, and sensory overloaded world, the true theatrical experience should begin before the moviegoer leaves their home. The experience needs to begin early on with excitement, anticipation, and expectation. And then it’s time to make good on those promises at the theater, culminating with the lights going down and that image appearing on screen. This session will get into the mindset of what distribution and exhibition need to be thinking about and acting on so as to create that truly, one-of-a-kind motion picture theatrical experience.
10:30am – 11:30am
Differentiating the Guest Experience Through Theater Design
Presenter: Cameron Mitchell, CEO, VOX Cinemas
Design internationally is evolving at a record pace, with exhibitors required to embrace increasing expectations in relation to tech, F&B and customer experience, all with a view on enhancing the guest experience and driving market share and earnings. This presentation will look at examples of best practice from designs around the world, to see what different exhibitors are doing to ensure their venues are remaining the most attractive leisure offerings globally.
11:30am – 12:30pm

Panel Members (To Date)
Luke Vetere, Managing Director, 20th Century Studios Distribution (GCC) at Majid Al Futtaim LLC
Data is the new oil, and whilst it is often spoken about as being the holy grail that must be cracked, exhibitors and distributors are still yet to come up with a workable solution that addresses who owns the data, who can use it, who pays for it, and how can the industry can universally benefit from the data. This session will look at some examples of best practice from around the world, and end with a panel discussion on how studios and exhibitors could collaborate on driving attendances to the mutual benefit of all stakeholders.

Jeff Henderson, Celebrity Chef and Best-Selling Author
Inspirational speaker Chef Jeff knows what it feels like to be hungry, and he knows what it is to struggle. In this presentation he shares two decades of life lessons that he gained on his redemptive journey from drug dealer to TV celebrity chef to nationally acclaimed speaker. With his twelve inspiring and pragmatic street-smart recipes for success, audiences will discover their hidden business aptitudes, make life-changing decisions, and secure personal and professional success.
Donn Rappaport, Founder & Chairman of the Board, ALC, Inc.
Modern marketers know success is no longer simply a matter of selling a good product. They’ve learned customer knowledge—understanding, and even anticipating, the customers’ wants and needs, their orientation and interests, their attitudes and motivations—is critical to achieving a healthy return on marketing spend. In this session, you’ll hear how smart marketers are deploying breakthrough data gathering and management strategies to define their target audiences, develop three-dimensional personas that enable compelling communications, create continuous feedback loops that generate more data and increasingly valuable customer insights and encourage high value customer loyalty. What’s more, you’ll discover how you can employ those same simple, cost-efficient tactics to fill theater seats.
CinemaCon, NATO and ICE Theatres invite delegates to a special reception. Join your friends and colleagues as we celebrate the beginning of what we know will be a great week for the industry.

Tentpoles and IP garner the headlines more often than not. And then comes the question – “Where’s all the original content?” If you look closely, you’ll see there’s not only plenty of it, but it’s coming from studios of all shapes and sizes. Just a sampling of 2019 titles include “Parasite”, ‘Uncut Gems”, “Knives Out”, “Harriet”, “Jojo Rabbit”, “Us”, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” and “Once Upon a Time….in Hollywood”. Why then do questions prevail about the dearth of original content? What as an industry must we do better to champion its cause and meet the needs of a moviegoers clamoring for originality on the big screen? Today’s session looks to shine an informative and beneficial light on this topic.

Private Cinemas aka “Micro-Theatres” or “’On-Demand’ Cinemas” are growing in China and other regions, but how are they received? What are the challenges? What are the opportunities? How can the cinema provide a shared experience on-demand? This ICTA/Inter-Society session will provide a look at micro-theaters with emphasis on the technological challenges of on-demand cinema.
Facilitated by:
Larry Etter, CCM, Director of Education, NAC and SVP, Malco Theatres
Dr. Radesh Palakurthi – Dean, Professor and IHG Chair of Excellence, Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management, University of Memphis
This seminar will highlight various generations of workers and how they perceive the work environment. More importantly it will give attendees a perspective on how to integrate a diverse level of age groups and priorities from the employer. Data collected from multiple professional sources, employee interviews and focus groups will be displayed to help understand how to create the best culture in the workplace by using employees to serve as that foundation. This is a can’t miss opportunity to see the multi-faceted levels of human inventory that actually run our business.
