The Rose d’Or has a culture that offers an ideal environment for networking and ‘behind the scenes’ deal making.

A major force within this culture is the Rose d’Or conference programme that every year invites top industry practitioners to present their views about, and insights into, programme making and issues that are relevant to shaping the industry’s future.

The areas that we are focusing upon this year range from prime time entertainment shows, performing arts programmes, the broad range of shows entered for competition and entertainment that finds itself working across different platforms.

CAN THE ARTS EVER BE PRIME TIME ?
Are the Performing Arts in danger of being severely marginalized at the expense of what is thought to be more popular programming? Over the past years Performing Arts programming has faced tough challenges. Decreasing budgets and less attractive time-slots have estranged it from prime time audiences. Could recent developments within entertainment formats, which now dominate the prime time slots, teach commissioning editors in the Performing Arts a few things? Commissioning editors team up with entertainment format specialists to test the water.
