The execs will appear in the popular one-hour forums "In Conversation With...," in which each speaker is interviewed one-on-one before the fest audience.

Joining the list of master class speakers is Richard J. Lewis, supervising producer-director of "CSI," and Neil Docherty, senior editor-producer of CBC's "The Fifth Estate."

Banff runs June 11-14.
