ADVISORY COMMITTEE
About the Committee
The Advisory Committee is made up of TV industry professionals who are invited to join each year by the Festival’s Creative Director. Working alongside the Creative Director and Advisory Chair, the Committee helps shape the Festival’s programme, contributing their expertise and sector knowledge to ensure a timely and relevant programme that responds to the needs of the industry. It is a role Committee members undertake alongside their day jobs, and their commitment is invaluable in ensuring the Festival’s continued reputation for agenda-setting dialogue and debate.
Being on the Committee also gives senior industry figures the chance to give something back to the industry via The TV Foundation. Our Festival-funded organisation helps the next generation of talent develop the skills needed to secure their dream TV jobs.
The 2024 Festival
This year’s Advisory Chair is Harjeet Chhokar, Unscripted Executive at Amazon MGM Studios/Prime Video. The Edinburgh TV Festival 2024 will run from 20-23 August. Tickets are available now.
