The "Tomorrow's TV" Seminar focuses on the four key areas of the television industry including Government, Commercial, Pay TV and Production house. The seminar is designed to give graduating students that chance to hear about the changing environment of television, and the structure of the industry, as well as learn about what kinds of jobs are available in this field. Guest speakers include Chris Oliver-Taylor (Head of Business & Operations at ABC TV), Adrian Dellevergin (Nine Network Director and Executive Director of Kids WB), Leigh Colbert (FOX SPORT Presenter) and Chris Perkins (Production Manager of WTFN) who provide knowledge about each different form of television production, as well as share their own personal stories about working in this media industry. The seminar is conducted in the form of a panel discussion with prompted questions, and audience members are allowed to ask questions of their own throughout the seminar.
