Welcome to the ConnectED Hub where delegates can research our hosts, request meetings and watch exclusive clips from industry experts giving insight into market trends and business opportunities in Europe and the UK. Delegates will be allocated up to three ten minute meetings from the number they've requested. For information about the event visit our FAQs.
Commissioners, distributors and producers from the UK, US, Europe, Australia and Canada will be hosting speed meetings with delegates at the ConnectED Speed Meeting event at the Platform 5 Café throughout the Festival.
More Hosts will be added to the Hub between now and the Festival so keep checking back. Speed Meetings are ten-minute one-on-one meetings that give delegates a chance to pitch a project that we hope will start an on-going conversation. You can request as many as you like, but will be matched with up to three by our team.
Visit the Host Hub to discover our hosts’ wishlists and request a meeting that fits your project.
Closing date for requests: 09:00 August 12th 2019.
