The media industry is ever-changing and rapidly evolving, and there have been countless job movements and power shifts in the months since the inaugural event. Last year saw Mike Sneesby, Peter Horgan, and Kyle and Jackie O come out on top. Will that still be the case in 2023?

The 2022 event marked the first time Mediaweek had put on an in-person event, working with industry-leading event company, Usual Suspects, who return to work their magic in 2023.
