INTERNATIONAL. The Moodie Davitt Report yesterday hosted some of the media industry’s most eminent legal teams and in-house counsel in its capacity as co-organiser and technical moderator of the Media Law International Annual Global Conference.

It drew an international audience from some of the world’s largest media and television operators.
Welcoming speakers from organisations such as The Guardian, BBC, Channel 4, Viacom, Kantar, McCann FitzGerald, The Sun, WKB, Charles Russell Speechlys and Norris McLaughlin, international delegates were treated to ten sessions of the world’s leading lawyers providing an overview of the latest market developments and challenges.

“Our successful partnership with the Media Law International team underlines our continued diversification since the COVID-19 pandemic began and our growing status as the virtual event partner of choice for media titles, businesses across multiple sectors and trade associations.
“In recent months we have organised virtual expos and webinars for and/or with several organisations, including ASUTIL/IAADFS, BW Confidential, the Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association (APTRA) and Media Law International. In every case the technical quality, content and ease of platform use has been widely praised.
