NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- What will the new cinema experience be like for audiences and brands as movie theaters open to the public? What does the future of the movie industry look like? What are the great innovations to look forward to in movie theaters and cinema advertising? These questions and more will be addressed by MediaVillage founder Jack Myers during his "Leadership Conversation" with Ken Thewes, Chief Marketing Officer of Regal, and Cliff Marks, President of National CineMedia (NCM).
