For the past few months, ESPN has been the biggest story in the media business. The most powerful network on cable is facing a future where cable TV may become much less powerful.
Which is why we’re excited that ESPN President John Skipper will join us onstage at next month’s Code/Media conference, February 17-18 in Southern California, for a candid conversation about the company's future. ESPN is trying to find new ways to grow digital revenue without disrupting its core business -- something a lot of other companies are trying to figure out, as well.
Skipper joins a terrific lineup of speakers that includes Shane Smith of Vice, Bob Bowman of MLB, Nigel Eccles of FanDuel, Jessica Lessin of The Information and Mike Hopkins of Hulu, among others.
It all happens next month at Code/Media. The most influential leaders in tech and media will be there to explore what happens when technology forces change into the media business. You should be there, too.
