Where Stage Meets Screen: A New Frontier of Live Entertainment

As audiences demand more immersive, shared experiences, live events are emerging as the next frontier for the screen industries. The same technologies transforming film and television - from virtual production and real-time rendering to advanced sound, lighting and design - are now redefining what’s possible in arenas, theatres and public spaces. This panel will explore how screen-led innovation is moving into the live sphere, the role of R&D in driving that convergence, and what it means for creators, studios and audiences alike.
