The First Cut: What Went Down at The London Media & Entertainment Mixer

The London Media & Entertainment Mixer made its debut as the latest addition to the Mixer series.

After making waves in Bristol, we brought the same no-fluff, high-energy format to London. And it didn’t disappoint. This marked the beginning of what will no doubt become a standout series—bigger city, bigger conversations, same unbeatable vibe.

We took over Mr Fogg’s after Day 1 of the Connected TV World Summit for our own little after-party.

Two big discussions set the tone, with some of the brightest and boldest minds in the industry joining us to chew the fat—washing it down with nibbles and complimentary drinks (of course).

Panel 1: Pirates vs. Platforms
Experts in anti-piracy tech debated whether we’re truly making progress—or just playing whack-a-mole with smarter pirates.

Panel 2: Streaming Shakeout
Leaders from Android TV, Endeavor Streaming, and more tackled the OTT survival game—what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.

No slides. No scripts. Just sharp insights, strong opinions, and a mic drop or two—followed by food, drinks, and late-night karaoke.
