The CEO of Nine Entertainment Co will be interviewed live on stage by the boss of WPP’s media division Group M at Mumbrella360 in June.

The head-to-head between David Gyngell and John Steedman will take place on the first day of the conference, which is at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney on June 5 and 6.

Tickets for Mumbrella360 went on sale today. An early bird booking price – with a discount of $600 – is available until the end of April.

Gyngell’s appearance comes after a dramatic year for Nine. Gyngell led the complex negotiations which saw NEC rescued from the financial abyss. The network also bounced back in the ratings thanks to the success of The Voice and is currently at the centre of speculation around its plans for a tie-up with Southern Cross Austereo.
