Nations & Regions Media Conference - Tue 28 (from 6pm) - Wed 29 Mar 2017

The 23rd Nations and Regions Media Conference will take place from 6pm on Tuesday 28 March, with keynote speaker and networking, followed by the full day Conference on Wednesday 29 March 2017.

This year’s conference is themed Working Futures: Our Brilliant Careers and celebrates excellence in the current climate of opportunity that exists across the UK.

We’ll discuss the incredible success of UK-wide British drama today, find out what makes a big returning factual hit, ask what the government’s proposed industrial strategy might mean for us all, tap into Children’s programming, assess the impact of BBC Studios and debate how the recent explosion of online content is rocking our world in more ways than one.

Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass, Ofcom chief executive Sharon White, Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, ITV head of factual entertainment Sue Murphy, Happy Valley supremo and RED Production founder Nicola Shindler, broadcaster Hardeep Singh Kohli and new Radio 4 Archers editor Huw Kennair-Jones provide an outstanding and diverse list of speakers and panellists with many more to come.

Exciting radio sessions, a brand new Production Showcase and bookable Meet the Commissioners slots make this a great chance for people working outside London to connect - and for anyone London-based to explore opportunities and trends across the UK.
