MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Since the Senior Executive Summit first launched in 2013, The WICT Network has collaborated with the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) to create a program unique within the media, entertainment and technology sectors; sectors that have several similar business challenges and opportunities. SES consistently rates as one of the best educational programs in the media industry. Participants gain diverse and dynamic perspectives from Stanford’s finest minds as well as their classroom peers. And because theirs is a research institute, Stanford’s teachings are grounded in case studies, research and original data, enabling attendees to be among the first to learn trends and technologies that are disrupting the way media and entertainment companies do business. In addition to experiential and data-driven master classes presented by GSB faculty, the program includes opportunities to converse with business icons from Silicon Valley and the surrounding area.
