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
