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.
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.
This series of Round Tables hosted by experts in co-production, development and funding will demystify all aspects of co-production and financing, leaving you with practical take-aways and new connections.
You will need to sign up in advance to join these sessions so make sure to get your Festival pass first!
Our ConnectED speed meetings give delegates exclusive access to the top commissioners, distributors, producers, and co-production partners across the UK and internationally.
These pre-booked slots give content creators the unique opportunity to have ten-minute speed meetings with executives who could bring their ideas to life.
