Good afternoon from Los Angeles, wherever you may be. We are a few days away from the first inaugural Screentime conference and I could use a little help from our readers.

I will be interviewing Netflix Inc. co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, Endeavor/TKO Holdings CEO Ari Emanuel, NBCUniversal chief content officer Donna Langley, CAA chairman Bryan Lourd, The Ringer CEO Bill Simmons and Hybe Chairman Bang Si-Hyuk.
