We’re extremely proud to be an Affiliate Sponsor at this year’s Edinburgh Television Festival, one of the most prestigious events in the UK.

Running on 22nd-24th August, the 3-day event brings together all parts of the television and digital world to celebrate creativity, diversity and inspirational talent, and to debate the major issues facing the industry. The Festival draws around 2000 delegates from the major networks and international production companies; from chief executives, controllers and commissioners to producers, directors, marketers, writers, new media companies, distributors and press.

There’s been some huge stars participating in interviews, Q&A’s and talks over the years; including Vicky McClure, RJ Mitte, Gary Linker, Frankie Boyle and Edith Bowman. This year, there will be sessions with the likes of Joanna Lumley, Steve Coogan and Hugh Grant, to name a few.

We’re sponsoring the Wi-Fi at the event across all 3 days, ensuring that you don’t miss a thing with over 70 sessions taking place, ranging from keynote addresses, revealing masterclasses, topical panel debates and exclusive screenings.
