Calendar

The Spring edition will celebrate the 22nd year of our popular Showrunner Exchange. The fast paced schedule provides access to the best creators, writers, show teams and drama executives of established US shows. Mix with top US Showrunners and observe their role and styles in executing primetime US Drama series across all platforms.

Connect with US international film professionals (producers, financiers, streamers, among others) in a tailored schedule of meetings in New York and Los Angeles, and explore their creative and managerial skills to develop, finance and distribute independent films with a global reach. 

Participants will also benefit from spending a week with other potential partners within the international indie producers participating in the group.

Meet the Brits – a 3-day schedule of meetings with leading drama practitioners involved in writing, developing and coproducing High End Series, Continuing Series and Single Dramas. A unique opportunity to source UK partners for your projects.

Following the success of the inaugural Exchange in 2019, the Women Writers Exchange will return in 2020 to build on the industry’s focus on ensuring a wider representation of women in creative roles.  Providing an unparalleled insight into the US Television Drama industry, and its creative and production principles, the 5 days of industry meetings will optimise the participants’ creative and business ambitions.

Tailored schedules provide the opportunity to pitch Agents, Networks, Showrunners, Producers and Sales Agents with the aim of securing US partners and exploring the creative and commercial potential of your concept

Launched in 2016, the Soaprunner Exchange addresses the challenges faced by the studios, executive producers and writers, in maintaining strong storylines for multi-episode or multi-season, returning drama serials and series – the Soaps, Telenovelas and Continuing Dramas

The Exchange utilises the UK’s strong continuing drama landscape providing contrasting sessions with key drama providers for the creative team from a visiting show to analyse and explore the successful writing and producing elements of long running shows in the UK and the new developments in this arena

Under the MediaXchange banner of Creative Vision, we will be developing a Writers Programme in Iceland, Holland and Sweden. The principal ingredients will be to advance the professional development of writers of TV drama, as well as the promotion of collaborative partnerships between writers and producers for effective strategies in developing, pitching and managing shows.  

A forum in which you can connect to, and navigate the potential offered by SVoD, AVoD, BVoD and TVoD options for creating and adapting original content and discovering new partnerships.
