Connected Host Hub
ConnectED, supported by Garden Studios, offers delegates the opportunity to connect with commissioners, distributors and co-production partners from PSBs, streamers distributors and more.
Our speed meetings are 10 minutes long and are scheduled according to the host’s availability. There’s no limit to the number of requests delegates can submit, and we’ll confirm a maximum of three meetings per delegate. We will do our best to confirm at least one of your requests but cannot guarantee that you will secure a meeting. Please ensure you read our ConnectED guide before applying for a meeting, available here.
ConnectED applications are now closed.
