BBC Online Partnerships: Industry Briefing in MediaCityUK, Salford

It's five months since our last industry briefing at BAFTA, London. Later today we're holding the second event in the series, this time at BBC North's headquarters at MediaCityUK in Salford. The event will follow a similar pattern to the first. We want to share with a broad cross section of the digital media industry our latest product plans and thinking about significant topics.

The BBC speaker list includes a healthy sprinkling of our leadership in the North. As you may be aware, we are in the process of moving six out of ten products to be based in Salford: homepage, search, CBBC, Cbeebies, Sport, and Knowledge & Learning. This Northern bias extends to our guest list which has a number of features of suppliers based in the North.

The schedule for the event looks like this:

Ralph Rivera, Director, Future Media will update partners on our performance over the last five months.

Holly Goodier will share insights about audience relationships with Computers, TV, mobile and other devices.

Jane Weedon, Controller, Business Development will talk about how we work with a range of device manufacturers to bring BBC programmes and content to our audience

The leadership of products newly based in Salford, Children's and Sport, will talk about the emerging product and answer questions

Daniel Danker will welcome partners into an industry panel discussion about simplicity and "Delivering Products that Delight the Whole Audience"

Finally Ralph Rivera, Roly Keating (Director, Archive and Executive Editor, BBC Online), and Mark Harrison (Head of Production, BBC North) will take questions

As in June, demand for places has far exceeded the number of people we can squeeze in to the room. So videos and write-ups of the talks will appear here on the BBC Internet Blog, this week and next.

And as in June please tweet with the hashtag #BBCOnline.

If you are joining us at MCUK, I look forward to seeing you here. If not I look forward to reading your comments.

Andy Conroy is General Manager, BBC Online and BBC Red Button
