Music has been distributed digitally for almost two decades. Movies and television are all now largely distributed through over-the-top providers, multichannel video program distributors, online retailers and video platforms. The performing arts have yet to become as readily available to audiences through these new ways to consume media and the industry has yet to take full advantage of this source of revenue. A panel of industry leaders will discuss this topic and how to put the final piece of the digital entertainment puzzle in place.

The evening will also feature live performances, a cocktail reception, industry networking and officially kick off Promenade, the first-ever streamed performing arts festival.

The event is set for Friday, September 15, 2017 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center (Broadway between 62nd & 63rd Streets, NYC). RSVP at RSVP@cennarium.com. The event will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
