LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The ITTV International Forum and TechInEntertainment (TiE), founded by CEO Valentina Martelli and Cristina Scognamillo, return for their 7ᵗʰ and 3ʳᵈ editions with a reimagined, year-round format that expands beyond the traditional conference model. Designed to foster meaningful dialogue and global partnerships across film, television, technology, and culture, ITTV and TiE will now feature curated, invitation-only experiences throughout 2025–2026 in both Los Angeles and Venice, with additional partnerships developing worldwide.

This evolution reflects ITTV’s mission to keep the conversation going throughout the year and to offer industry professionals a protected, curated environment for genuine connection whether during business breakfasts, cocktails, or thought-leadership sessions.

“After years of growth, ITTV and TiE are evolving into a more agile and connected model, one that reflects how our industry now operates: continuously, globally, and through relationships,” said Valentina Martelli, Founder and CEO of ITTV International Forum and TechInEntertainment. “According to several researches, in the three years 2025–2029 the global entertainment & media (E&M) industry revenues are projected to rise from about US$2.9 trillion in 2024 to US$3.5 trillion by 2029. If this growth is to materialize, we want to ensure that ITTV and TiE are at the forefront of the conversation.”

In the spirit of its new year-round format, ITTV International Forum will unveil a special partnership during the upcoming Global Frames Executive Cocktail in Los Angeles: the presentation of the Portofino Days International Fiction Festival, a new initiative celebrating creativity, storytelling, and international collaboration in scripted content. “Liguria is becoming more and more a key destination for international film and television productions, strengthening its ties with the U.S. industry. We are pleased to begin and further grow this collaboration with Hollywood thanks to our new partnership with ITTV - Says Cristina Bolla, President of the Genova Liguria Film Commission, Director of Portofino Days, and Head of the Amadeo Peter Giannini Study Center -.The Portofino Days International Fiction Festival (March 27–29, 2026) will highlight this growth and showcase some of the remarkable productions filmed in the region, while bringing together professionals, fostering creativity, and celebrating Liguria’s cinematic legacy through masterclasses and opportunities for creative exchange across the Atlantic.”
