\n\tThe first slate of speakers includes MAPPA president and CEO Manabu Otsuka; Toho executive officer Taichi Ueda; Shueisha\u2019s Yuta Momiyama, an editor-in-chief overseeing the digital side of Shonen Jump+; and Sony Music Entertainment Japan president Atsuhiro Iwakami, who is also chairman of Aniplex. In the anime world, these are some of the true heavy-hitters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSony Pictures Animation president Kristine Belson will also moderate a panel with Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, the directors of the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse<\/em>. Olympic gold medalist figure skater Amber Glenn, rapper and author Big Sean and content creator Jordan Howlett will also participate in the forum from a fan perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe one-day event, themed \u201cDesigning for Anime\u2019s Future,\u201d will organize discussions around fandom, technology, storytelling and intellectual property protection. Planned sessions include conversations on transmedia storytelling across anime, gaming and live action; the changing theatrical experience; the future of manga; and the role of influencers in expanding anime fandom.<\/p>\n

\n\tSony Group president and CEO Hiroki Totoki will deliver opening remarks, Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman and CEO Ravi Ahuja will speak during the day and Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini will close the forum with remarks and news.<\/p>\n

\n\tSony first announced plans for the forum in May, describing anime as an important growth sector for the company and the event as a way to deepen ties with Japanese publishers and creators while bringing them together with partners from other industries. At the same corporate strategy briefing, Sony said Crunchyroll had surpassed 21 million paid subscribers worldwide as of the end of March.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrunchyroll says more than 400 industry figures will attend the forum, which will be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Wednesday, Oct. 7, before New York Comic Con begins at the same venue. NYCC runs Oct. 8-11.<\/p>\n
