              Discover the inaugural CPH:DOX Summit, bringing together politicians, innovators, researchers and documentary professionals to discuss the future of the audiovisual industry

              Kickstarting the CPH:CONFERENCE week on 24 March 2025, 12:30 – 17:30 is the inaugural CPH:DOX Summit taking place at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen.

              The day is curated by Mark Edwards, and hosted by Anna Porse Nielsen. Click on each session below to see our wonderful speakers.

              Using the upcoming EU Presidency for Denmark as a launching point, we believe that now is the time to work together in forming a better media landscape for Europe and beyond, key as it is in maintaining trust in governments, in upholding democracies, in taking action against climate change, and in ensuring the best possible futures for coming generations. 

              In the past 10 years, streamers and tech companies have had a disruptive effect on the European media landscape, creating radical change, and leading to consolidation in the private sector and calls for reform in the public sector.

              In the meantime, a majority of Europeans now learn what’s going on in the real world through social media. As Europe continues to take steps towards a single digital market, several European countries are only one election away from voting for illiberal and anti-democratic leaders.

              Now that democracy itself is at stake, it’s time to go beyond the polarizing narratives of the platforms, and work together to build the European media ecosystem of tomorrow.

              The vibrant but fragile documentary sector has a key role to play in this brave new world, and it’s a great time for funders, programmers, regulators and independent filmmakers to put their heads together to better engage the public.

              Ultimately, we are all here to serve audiences, to bring them truthful and original stories about  what is happening in our world. But we can do more by teaming up with journalists, artists and thinkers to make these stories even stronger, more human and more visible, and bring them to audiences, where they are, across Europe and around the globe.

              – Mark Edwards, former Head of International Coproductions at ARTE France and Director of Documentaries in Europe for Netflix

              Join us and be a part of improving the future of independent and democratic media.

              The event is accessible upon invitation or by issuing a rush line pass on the spot to all accredited guests – don’t miss the chance to attend!

              Summit Sessions

              Welcome to CPH:DOX Summit

              CPH:DOX and partners welcome the room to the inaugural CPH:DOX Summit in Copenhagen.

              Opening Address from the Danish Minister for Culture

              The Danish Minister for Culture, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, will open the day, welcoming guests to a forum for high-level ideation, and setting an ambitious agenda for European audiovisual policy under Denmark's future presidency of the European Council, beginning in July.

              Opening Keynote

              A fiercely independent filmmaker will evoke the potential power and importance of independent media.

              The State of Information in Europe 

              For the public, there is no going back, the digital world is here to stay.

              How We Adapt to Disruption

              How can we harness the potential of digital technologies while being clear-eyed about the risks they pose?

              Media Accessibility as a Human Right  

              A special keynote opens the afternoon session.

              Are we Putting Money in the Right Places?

              In this new digital landscape, are we putting our resources in the right places?

              How Can We Get Closer to Audiences? 

              For the past 30 years, independent media has grown and flourished globally. As a revelatory study in the US shows, there is an audience out there wanting an improved choice. We join the study's author, Keri Putnam, in conversation with Artur Liebhart and Matthias Pfeffer to see how we reach these audiences.

              Soapbox for the Future

              Now it's over to you. Having heard the ideas, the analysis and synthesis presented - as a community - how should we respond? Are there recommendations for CPH? If we have the attention of policy makers - what feels most urgent?

              We will bring the soapbox. Please bring your opinions.
