Renowned creators, producers, managers, distributors and lawyers offer lectures, presentations and one-on-one sessions that give invaluable insights about how the business runs, directing the participants through the process of developing, pitching, casting, producing, scheduling, marketing and distributing a format.

The participation fee for the full programme, including hotel accommodation and full board, is €15,000.
