Equip yourself with this crucial knowledge through our Showrunner TV Drama Exchange, September 8-13th, in Los Angeles. You will join the group of participants (CEOs, Producers and Heads of Development) hailing from the UK, UAE and Romania. This year, we are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the programme.
