Om festivalen:
The MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival is the essential annual event for the international television and media industry. Featuring prominent industry voices the Festival is packed with over 50 individual sessions covering the most pertinent issues facing the industry from policy to programme making. The wide ranging programme involves keynote lectures, preview screenings, masterclasses, interviews and networking parties which make for a stimulating weekend.

The Festival is attended by over 2,000 UK and international delegates representing the full spectrum of the industry including controllers, commissioners, producers, directors, marketers, new media companies, distributors and press.

"For me as a controller of one of Scandinavia’s big public service channels the Edinburgh Festival is a unique chance for a yearly overview of the British television market and hear the thoughts of the controllers. Status, scope, new ideas and a lot to think about - all that is Edinburgh for me. I always return with a notebook full of to-dos!"
