Tuesday 5 March / Morning sessions – Day one

11.05 Keynote address
11.20 Platinum sponsor welcome – The Coca-Cola Company
11.25 Cinema technology – the current landscape
Charlotte Jones IHS Markit
The decade since digitisation has seen an explosion in the application of
new technologies to all aspects of the cinema-going experience. This session
looks at the extent to which different technologies have been adopted by the
UK cinema market.
11.45 Cinema technology and the audience
Ruth Hinton Vue Entertainment
Stan Ruszkowski Webedia Movies Pro
eeting the changing needs and tastes of the cinema-going public remains key
M
to the future of the big screen experience. Yet comparatively little is known about
audience attitudes towards technology. At a time when increasing fragmentation
of the cinema offer makes clear and consistent communication with audiences
challenging, this session will look at the extent to which technology influences
the public in deciding where, when and how to watch movies.
12.15 Morning break sponsored by IHS Markit
12.45 Premium experiences
Graham Lodge Sound Associates (moderator)
Alessandra Bernacchi IMAX
James Collington Savoy Cinemas
Ngozi Okali Entertainment One
John Trafford-Owen RealD
key strand of the changing cinema offer in recent years has been the
A
development of a range of ‘premium experiences’, each supported by different
immersive technologies. Taking an upcoming Cinema Technology Community
(CTC) report as its foundation, this session will explain what these experiences
are how they work, the challenges and opportunities they present and what
evidence there is for audience demand.

14.45 Laser illumination
Matt Jahans Harkness Screens (moderator)
Paul John Anderson Omniplex Cinemas
Steve Case Omnex Pro-film
David Gattens Glasgow Film Theatre
Mark Kendall NEC Display Solutions
here is increasing interest in (and take-up of) laser illumination by cinema
T
operators of all shapes and sizes. Taking the European Digital Cinema Forum’s
(EDCF) ‘Buyer’s Guide to Laser Projection’ as its foundation, this session
will explain the different technologies on offer and share experience of the
challenges and opportunities they present.

16.15 The funding challenge
Steve Perrin (moderator)
Tim Potter Cinema Next
Paul Robson Medialease
Rod Wheeler Cinionic
Mark Williams WTW Scott Cinemas
Rob Younger Propix Cinemas
ith cinema operators facing an ever-increasing range of possible areas for
W
technological investment, and seemingly little prospect of a further industry-
wide support mechanism, the question of how these new developments might
best be funded is never far away. This session will look at the options to support
further investment now on offer from both within and outside of the sector.
17.00 In the pub with…
Mike Bradbury Odeon Cinemas Group (moderator)
Nic Knowland Cinematographer
Kevin Markwick The Picture House, Uckfield

cinema technology and what they might mean for the cinema audience.

Wednesday 6 March / Morning sessions – Day two
10.00 Cinema sizzle sponsored by Powster
10.10 Opening address
10.30 Direct View Display
Jan Petersen Nordisk Film Cinemas (moderator)
Paul Maloney Samsung Electronics
Oliver Pasch Sony Professional Solutions Europe
lthough still very much in its infancy in terms of engagement with the cinema
A
sector, Direct View Display screens – high brightness and contrast LED screens –
are already attracting interest and comment in equal measure. This session
will look at what we know about this technology, and its potential contribution
to the big screen experience.
11.00 e-ticketing
Kevin Ervine Vista
The adoption of paperless and e-ticketing – common in many other
comparable sectors – by the wider UK cinema sector has been comparatively
slow. This session will look at the potential such approaches have for smoothing
the customer journey as well as accruing valuable customer data.
11.30 Spotlight session – cinema and sustainability
Natasha Padbury Depot, Lewes
Carmen Slijpen Depot, Lewes
11.45 Morning break sponsored by Harkness Screens

Digital signage – revolutionising the customer experience
Oliver Delaney The Coca-Cola Company
David Jackson Vue Entertainment
ell-designed and well-delivered digital signage can add a ‘wow’ factor which
W
transforms the lobby experience for customers. This session will share the
experiences of cinema operators and suppliers that have moved away from
traditional standees and posters and created a more dynamic environment.

Wednesday 6 March / Afternoon sessions – Day two
Duncan Reynolds Odeon Cinemas Group
14.00 Skills for technology
Gareth Ellis-Unwin ScreenSkills
Paul Willmott Saffron Screen
he cinema industry, like many others, faces an ongoing challenge in ensuring
T
that staff have the understanding and skills to manage rapid technological
innovation. While each company will have its own tailored approach, support is
available. This session will look in particular at how the newly-refreshed sector
skills agency ScreenSkills and the Cinema Technology Community are each
gearing up to help the cinema industry navigate current and future technological
developments.
14.30 Technology-assisted lobby design
Richard Mitchell Harkness Screens
Understanding the way a building performs can have profoundly positive effects
on profitability and the experience the cinema-goer receives. This session will
show the potential of simulation and modelling technologies available today
which can help optimise customer journeys through buildings, helping to
understand how to keep customers safe, where best to place signage and
how to design concession spaces in order to minimise queues.
15.00 Technology for accessibility
Gráinne Peat Event Cinema Association/UKCA consultant (moderator)
Seneit Debese Greta & Starks
Jonathan Suffolk National Theatre
Elena Zini Screen Language
here has in the last few years been a significant growth in the use of assistive
T
technology, making the big screen experience more accessible to disabled
cinema-goers. But some key challenges remain; in 2018 the UK Cinema
Association launched its Technology Challenge Fund, inviting proposals
for viable ‘closed caption’ solutions for deaf and hard of hearing customers.
his session will invite the three short-listed applicants to explain and –
where possible – demonstrate their proposals.
