For the first time, Realscreen Summit will co-locate offering participants an unmatched opportunity to engage with industry leaders and innovators across the spectrum of entertainment and media. As previously announced, Roku’s Head of Content David Eilenberg will deliver the keynote address on the crossover day – Wednesday, February 5 – to a combined audience of NATPE Global and Realscreen Summit delegates. Realscreen Summit will open on Monday, February 3 with a keynote address from Jason Sarlanis, President of TNT, TBS, truTV, ID, and HLN, Linear and Streaming at Warner Bros. Discovery.
NATPE Global 2025 will bring together key buyers and sellers, covering projects in development, catalog programming, and decision-makers from across the media ecosystem. Both Realscreen Summit and NATPE Global will maintain distinct programming while providing a seamless experience for attendees to engage across both conferences.
Throughout the week spanning NATPE Global and Realscreen Summit, the agenda centers on bringing the Future of Media into sharper focus – what to expect in 2030. That lens will inform the events’ signature formats, from Realscreen’s 30 Minutes With Programmers series to NATPE’s Streaming+ strand.
