Sony Pictures TV’s Keith Le Goy to Keynote Banff World Media Festival

Keith Le Goy, who was recently appointed as chairman of Sony Pictures Television, has been announced as one of the keynote speakers at the forthcoming Banff World Media Festival.

In January, Le Goy assumed leadership of the studio division, a role he has held for over 25 years prior. He stepped into this position following Ravi Ahuja, who was promoted to President and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment after the exit of Tony Vinciquerra. Previously, Ahuja had been heading the division.

In his latest role, Le Goy is responsible for managing Sony’s domestic and foreign TV production across all platforms, which encompasses their game show division (containing shows like Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune) as well as the cable network GSN.

At the Banff Summit Series in June 8-11, 2025, Le Goy will deliver a speech during the media festival in Banff, Alberta. This event comes amidst a challenging climate for the TV industry, including post-2023 labor disputes, concerns about artificial intelligence risks, and other industry-wide obstacles. Previously, Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, had been announced as a keynote speaker at this Canadian Rockies industry gathering.

Le Goy will speak at the Banff Summit Series in June 2025, which takes place during a difficult time for the TV industry with issues like labor disputes after 2023, AI risks, and other challenges. Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, was already announced as a keynote speaker at this event happening in the Canadian Rockies.

Over the last few years, some notable speakers at the Banff Summit Series have been Rob Wade, Channing Dungey, Bela Bajaria, George Cheeks, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Paula Kerger, Pearlena Igbokwe, Ted Sarandos and Maverick Carter.

More details about the additional highlights for the June festival will be revealed within the next few months. The Netflix-Banff Diversity of Voices program is also set to return, offering professionals from under-represented groups a chance to connect with key industry figures in Banff for potential business opportunities.
