Heavy Hitters Line Up for Variety's Entertainment & Tech Summit
Bill Hader, James Wan, Nick Kroll and execs are bringing the talk to LA this September.
Variety just locked in some serious talent for its annual Entertainment and Technology Summit, happening September 17th in Los Angeles. We're talking Emmy-winner Bill Hader, director James Wan (the guy behind Aquaman and Insidious), producer-actor Nick Kroll, Nintendo of America's top exec Devon Pritchard, and Sony Pictures Television chairman Keith Le Goy.
It's the kind of lineup that shows how blurred the lines have gotten between traditional entertainment, tech, gaming, and streaming. You got comedians, blockbuster filmmakers, corporate suits, and the Nintendo executive all in one room talking about where things are headed. That's the industry right now—it's not just about making movies or TV anymore.
The summit, presented by EY, is basically a yearly check-in where the power players talk shop on what's moving culture and business forward. If you're paying attention to how entertainment actually gets made and distributed in 2024, this is the kind of event that matters.
