For our next Behind the Scenes screen industries meetup, we’re focusing on skills and opportunities for people in the industry, and the challenges for finding work or moving to different sectors.

The evening will begin with some casual networking, followed by a panel discussion, before we have separate breakout sessions focusing on specific challenges for different areas of the industry.

We’ll also have a showcase area where you can meet local suppliers and find some useful resources.

Panel discussion

  • What other skills should those in the screen industries be looking to add?
  • What are the development opportunities?
  • What opportunities are available in branded settings?

Our panel of experts from broadcast, education and the film industry will help answer the most pressing questions from our host as well as the audience.

Breakout sessions

  • Change your CV to not TV
  • Worlds apart – how to go from unscripted into scripted
  • Mental health and support needs in the screen industries
