Connected Host Hub
ConnectED offers delegates the opportunity to connect with commissioners, distributors and co-production partners from the BBC, Netflix, UKTV, ITV, Sky, 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.
We are now closed for 2024 ConnectED meeting requests. You can book a BBC Commissioner meeting until Friday 09 August. Please go to the bottom of this page to request one. Please note these are managed by the BBC Commissioning team not Edinburgh TV Festival.
