Hollywood to Silicon Valley: Making a Megahit
Everyone wants a hit. Whether it’s in television, movies or business, executives and entrepreneurs are hunting for the next big thing. You see the hits on the big and small screens, but what has to happen in order for them to get there?

Our conversation will bridge tech and entertainment and explore how a solid VC-startup partnership can make magic, just as solid producer-writer partnerships can create box office smashes as varied as American Hustle or Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Hear what our all-star panelists from Hollywood and Silicon Valley have to say about what it takes to create the mega-hits that can drive our business and culture across decades and generations.
