The Media Production and Technology Show 2022’s free seminar programme has a focus this year upon sustainability, virtual production and mental health so it is clear that #MPTS2022 will be tackling some of the most prevalent issues currently affecting the industry.
Taking place during London Digital Signage Week on May 11-12, 2022 at Olympia London, the show will host more than 170 speakers across eight theatres, featuring keynote presentations, panel discussions and educational sessions.
Charlotte Wheeler, Event Director, told us “The quality and range of our speaker programme has always been, and continues to be, a major factor in the success of MPTS. The team has been working hard to secure industry experts whose insights are a crucial part of the programme as well as speakers from smaller or growing sectors who are best placed to highlight new trends, technologies and ideas that will take the industry forward after what has been a very challenging two years for us all. This is our BIGGEST programme yet, and we hope visitors enjoy all that it has to offer.”
The Keynote Theatre presents a host of industry leaders who will share their successes and visions for the future. Speakers include BAFTA award winning actor, director, producer and writer, Adam Deacon, Bandicoot TV Co-Founder and Creative Director Daniel Nettleton and Ria Hebden, TV presenter and broadcaster, to name a few.

Back by popular demand, this year’s line-up features sessions around location filming, production budgeting, health and safety on set, new kit and tech reviews, and sustainability in production.
