US-Asia Entertainment Summit: How Asia Markets Have Changed and What it Means for Hollywood

O’Melveny partner Lindsay Conner is a featured panelist at Asia Society Southern California’s US-Asia Entertainment Summit on October 30. Conner will join the session, “How Asia Markets Have Changed and What it Means for Hollywood.”

The US-Asia Entertainment Summit is the most prestigious gathering of dealmakers, thought leaders, and content creators in the US and Asian entertainment industries. Now in its 13th year, this signature event, originally created as a forum for filmmakers from the US and China to collaborate, has expanded to a conference analyzing the trends and forces transforming entertainment – across all of Asia and beyond film to television, digital streaming and content, music, and gaming.

Conner’s corporate entertainment practice at O’Melveny focuses on film, television, and digital content. He has served as chief outside entertainment counsel for major film studios and television networks, global telecommunications companies, film and television production and distribution companies, rights owners and content owners, and digital media companies, as well as for banks, financial institutions, private equity funds and high-net-worth investors. Conner has restructured the production and distribution of a multibillion-dollar television franchise, closed half-billion-dollar feature film finance and distribution deals, negotiated studio film slate and independent film financing deals, and structured international television finance, production and distribution deals. He regularly closes deals for equity investments in, as well as for the acquisition of, entertainment companies and film and television assets. Conner has been honored by The Hollywood Reporter as one of the “Top 20 Dealmakers of the Year” and one of the “Top 100 Power Lawyers in Hollywood,” and by Variety as one of “50 Game-Changing Attorneys in Hollywood” and one of the “Variety 500,” Variety’s list of the top 500 most important people in the global entertainment and media industries.
