This conference will further consider the future for the BBC - amid heightened political comment on its funding and scope, as the midpoint of the current Charter approaches, and with the ongoing review of public service broadcasting.

The agenda:
The evolving role of the BBC
The purpose and scope of the BBC across its operations, long term outlook, and role in soft power and serving UK cultures
Regulation and its impact on the BBC
The future of BBC services and the impact on the UK’s nations and regions and the wider creative market
Future funding and revenue options for the BBC
