Hi, What happens if you add a giant media company to a giant phone company — and then send the combined operation out to battle in the streaming wars with everyone else in tech and media? We’re about to find out: AT&T is readying HBO Max, its streaming video effort that’s meant to challenge Netflix, Disney, Amazon, and Apple, among others. And John Stankey, the man in charge of that charge, is coming to Code Media to tell us about it. Stankey is an AT&T veteran who now runs the company’s WarnerMedia unit, which it acquired by spending more than $85 billion and more than a year in court. Now he’s in the midst of a major reorganization, and many of the top executives from the company formerly known as Time Warner have left. He has a full plate. So we’re delighted that Stankey will be joining us at Neuehouse in Hollywood, November 18 and 19, for our signature Red Chair interview — real talk, unrehearsed, and on the record. Stankey is joining a great lineup of speakers that we’ll be telling you about over the next few months at our annual conference dedicated to the intersection of tech and media, which is front and center like never before.
