New for 2024’s event is The Bridge – a networking lounge where delegates can book meetings and pitch their projects directly to the UK’s leading digital content commissioners and buyers including A+E, UKTV, ITV Studios, Blue Ant Media, Quintus Studios, Abacus Rights, Eccho Rights and Little Dot Studios.
Eleven panel, keynote and masterclass sessions during the day will focus on areas including creator economics and content monetisation; original IP and formats; brand funded digital content; and smart multi platform production techniques. The event will also feature exclusive digital-first sector research and a presentation of digital-first formats from around the world by The Wit’s Caroline Servy.

“Our third edition is set to be the best yet,” said TellyCast Media and Events’ Justin Crosby. “As the traditional TV and digital first industries continue to overlap with brand funding and social platform developments, the interest in the next generation of social-first entertainment production continues to rise. In an industry first, our new digital buyers lounge The Bridge will also offer delegates the opportunity to pitch to digital buyers as well as network with industry leaders and learn from trail blazers”
