The innovation agenda is moving ahead at full speed. Broadband is spreading across the country, connecting Canadians to the world. What about the content that will be travelling the information highway? Does it matter if there is a Canadian component? Where does an industry that produces Canadian television programs and films fit in? What does this industry contribute to our economy? To our sense of selves? Is it worth the investment?
As President and CEO of the Canadian Film and Television Production Association, Elizabeth McDonald will offer an expert perspective on what the issues are and where the trends are headed. She will explore how Canadian voices get heard and Canadian stories get told in an environment of rapidly changing technology and increasing international competition. Prior to becoming President of CFTPA in 1995 Elizabeth McDonald worked for the Canadian Cable Television Association, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
