Information
Climate change, sustainability standards, and digital transformation are reshaping how production works in Canada. As broadcasters, streamers, financiers, and regulators raise expectations around climate risk and environmental performance, producers are seeing real impacts on planning, scheduling, locations, budgets, and day-to-day workflows. Join us to explore how these global trends are playing out on the ground, including where new technologies and AI can help reduce emissions and costs, where they may create new challenges, and how sustainability is quickly becoming a baseline business requirement.
