Securing Australian Content in the Streaming Era Summit
- This event has passed.
Three days of events across RMIT and ACMI focused on Securing Australian Content in the Streaming Era (11th-13th September)
It has been nearly ten years since streaming arrived in Australia, with Stan and Netflix launching on our shores in early 2015. The Streaming Industries and Genres Network (SIGN) based at RMIT University is running three days of events to reflect on how a decade of streaming in Australia has changed the local screen entertainment landscape. Alongside research experts, come hear from screen industry leaders, policymakers, creators, and cultural commentators as we think through strategies for the next decade of streaming in Australia.

A series of panels will consider the current state and future of streaming video research methods, streaming diversity, and how to understand streaming audiences.

Organised around key screen genres (drama, comedy, reality TV, sport, kids/youth media, and film), this ACMI partnered event features roundtable discussion panels, talks and a screening designed to catalyse conversation. We will look forward as well as back to consider how we can future-proof our local screen industries in an increasingly global marketplace.
