Networking at the Festival

As well as the lineup of inspirational speakers and sessions you have come to expect from Edinburgh, the Festival also offers myriad opportunities for networking. From super-targetted speed meetings with decision makers from across the industry, themed meet-ups hosted by key players, Co-Production Round Tables with expert contributors, not to mention coffee hours and drinks receptions, our delegates come away with new connections, tools for success and commissions.

Festival in Numbers

  • In 2024 we hosted 180 speed meetings
  • Over 70% of delegates generate business through those meetings
  • 90% of delegates say their expectations were met or exceeded
  • We held 25 networking events open to all delegates

ConnectED Meet-Ups

Meet, Network and Connect

ConnectED Meet-Ups give delegates an opportunity to meet and mingle with fellow attendees in a casual setting.

We kick off each Meet-Up with a quick introduction from expert industry hosts to spark conversation, then it’s over to all of you!

Less formal than a speed meeting, more targeted than a party, join us at Platform 5 Café to meet your fellow delegates and forge new creative connections.
