The Big Connection: Unscripted
This session is part of the Connect & Inspire strand which offers a variety of sessions, from in-person networking and online roundtables to in-depth case studies, designed to promote the sharing of knowledge and the building of relationships across Unscripted TV.
Are you working in unscripted television but want to expand your contacts?
Then come and join representatives from Screenskills and the Royal Television Society Scotland for a networking evening at BBC Scotland. There you’ll have the opportunity to meet the heads of production and managing directors of some of Scotland’s leading production companies currently making some of the UK’s most loved Unscripted programming.
Unscripted television has faced challenges in recent years and it’s important for those working in that area to stay connected. At this year’s event we will open the session with a panel discussion from key sector professionals focussing on the key talking points for the unscripted industry. All attendees will then get face to face time with our production guests and the opportunity to exchange contact details and ultimately increase their network. Finally we invite everyone to join us for drinks and pizza to round off the evening.
