Creative industries are no longer defined by content alone. They are increasingly shaped by technology, platforms, and the ability to build long-term, scalable ecosystems.
At the NALB Forum in Los Angeles, this spotlight explores how the industry is evolving at the intersection of storytelling, infrastructure, and innovation, shifting from intellectual property as one-off output to scalable, long-term franchises.
This spotlight focuses on the key questions shaping the industry today:
🎬 What sustainable monetization looks like in a fragmented platform environment?
🤖 How AI is reshaping authorship, ownership, and production pipelines?
📊 Where value is truly created today—across content, technology, or distribution?
Los Angeles provides a clear lens: a system where content, capital, and technology converge at scale, and where global standards for storytelling and production continue to be defined.
From transmedia ecosystems to platform-based experiences, the shift is clear:
The product is no longer a single film, game, or format—it is the world built around it. This transformation extends beyond media and entertainment, influencing sectors ranging from simulation and training to product design and user experience, where the creative industries act as a bridge between complex technologies and human understanding.
As part of NALBF’s broader mission to build long-term transatlantic collaboration, this spotlight focuses on the intersections of creative industries with technology, business models, and cross-sector innovation.
