Birthday Edition: On November 22, 2023 it’s all about new content, new channels and new technologies for the fifth time. The best speakers in the industry will inspire in keynotes, panels, master classes and talk about today’s content hot topics, trends and discourses.

TODAY. TO DO. TOMORROW.

How will the content generation change in the coming years? What potential do generative AIs’ offer and what can the hype do in terms of format, content, production and distribution?
The traditional roles of broadcasters and recipients have been in rotation for a long time now: a plea for more interaction, a discourse on news and AI, and a broad look at Germany as a producer country. Are producers the new broadcasters and what is production with attitude: socially engaged, green, entrepreneurial?
Where in the content sphere are we screwing, daring, failing and what do we need for new inventions with global impact?

Unreal Engine for Virtual Production …

… at every scale

How tools such as LED volumes and augmented reality can expand content production workflows within almost any budget.

Virtual Production faces the challenge of transforming from a first mover technology to a tool suitable for mass production processes. Implementation in smaller and less costly setups plays a decisive role in this and will be shown here as well as examples from larger VP productions. From pre-production to on-site implementations with tracking workflows and real-time playback to the final shot. In this masterclass, various examples of VP applications with the Unreal Engine will be explained and broken down into their creative development process and the individual steps of technical implementation.
In addition to the masterclass, interested parties can view a small-scale virtual production setup on the bright! demo space and clarify all detailed questions hands-on.

How to YouTube Shorts?

Factors and trends for successful YouTube Shorts

With over 2 billion logged-in users per month and over 70 billion views per day, YouTube Shorts is the platform of the moment. With a rapidly growing reach, the question of the factors for success with YouTube Shorts is becoming increasingly relevant – both for content providers and advertisers. What are the latest best practices for the creation, discoverability and marketing of short-form content on YouTube? What are the current trends and where is the journey heading in the future? What do advertisers and creatives need to consider to be successful with YouTube Shorts?

From Storytelling to Storyliving

How Augmented Reality Changes Content

In this session, Denise Mancinone, Head of Marketing DACH, and Ardawan Okovat, Production Lead DACH, from Snap Inc. will tell you about the possibilities Augmented Reality (AR) opens up in storytelling and how it brings content or stories to life. They will show you how media brands, companies and content creators use AR, show cases and explain how to think about an AR Lens and end up creating it. Finally, we’ll build a Lens live in just 10 minutes. Join us to discover the added value of this technology for your content.

Unlock the Goldmine

Use and measure event content effectively

Experience the diverse possibilities of event (generated) content. Using concrete examples, we show how this special type of content can be generated and used in different phases of an event, and we also address the challenges of measuring success. The goal: to identify untapped marketing potential and understand events as a content treasure trove and key component for achieving your business goals.

Play to Learn

Ubisoft games in the classroom

Teaching knowledge through video games? Yes, it is possible! Digital Game-Based Learning refers to teaching and learning with video games and opens up countless new possibilities for the classroom. Ubisoft offers 5 selected games free of charge for educational purposes through its Play to Learn program – some of them with specially created additional teaching material. Learn programming with Rabbids, immerse yourself in the history of World War I with Valiant Hearts, or follow in the footsteps of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks in Assassin’s Creed Discovery tours: used cleverly, the games can bring a breath of fresh air into the classroom. In this masterclass, after a general introduction to the topic, we want to test a teaching sequence ourselves.

AI in journalism

An exchange on AI use and learnings in journalism

AI can’t do journalism, but we can use AI to support our local journalism. And we haven’t just been doing this since ChatGPT, but for some time now in a wide variety of tools. We are very open to testing to find out if and what AI can do for us. Based on our testings with ChatGPT, we would like to talk to you in the masterclass about what you and we have learned in the process and discuss what frameworks make sense.

Dirty Little Secrets

Investigative research as an streaming-highlight

The competition is just a click away: Public service offerings in the ARD Mediathek must therefore compete with the high storytelling quality of international streaming providers. In developing the docu-series “Dirty Little Secrets,” we asked ourselves: How can we assert ourselves in this environment?

How do you tell investigative research in an entertaining way, for a young target group and as a streaming highlight? How do you visualize rather dry material like Spotify playlists, contracts and studies in an unconventional and high-quality way? Lennart Bedford-Strohm and Tomi Stevenson from the BRnext development editorial team at Bayerischer Rundfunk will give you an honest insight into the format development and production process.

How do we produce the stories…

…that interest our readers?

80 percent of the stories on the websites of regional publishers are hardly read by anyone. The publishers in the DRIVE initiative want to counteract this. They have analyzed which reading needs are addressed by the stories that are particularly successful digitally – in that they are read a lot and for a long time or have attracted new subscribers. These reading needs have fed into models according to which articles are now produced in local newsrooms. Katja Fleischmann from dpa, Katharina Petermeier from VRM and Rebecca Singer from RHEINPFALZ report on how the needs of readers can be integrated into everyday editorial work, what practical problems there are in doing so – and how they can be mastered.

Dying to tell

War journalism and social media

How do you become a warfluencer on your vacation?

Why is the ARD media library important if you want to interview IS terrorists in Syria?

What do you do if the TikTok algorithm thinks you’re a Taliban?

And what content can you draw from death threats from offended nationalists?

In this masterclass, journalist and funk host Konstantin Flemig reports on the adventures of a social media war reporter – on the digital front and on the real one.
