About
The Edinburgh TV Festival is the home of independent debate in TV. Each year, we offer more than 60 keynotes, debates, and masterclasses, plus scores of networking opportunities. We draw a crowd of over 2,000 industry professionals from across the globe who join us to learn, connect, and have fun.
Our editorial independence means we don’t have to compromise on the content we deliver to our delegates. Our programmes are created with a focus on quality and relevance, and our sessions are famous for being provocative, informative, and entertaining.
No other festival does what we do on our scale, and we look forward to welcoming you in August.
