Topic Tables

Drop-in on site - no sign up required.

These popular 45-minute informal sessions are a great way to add to your network by connecting with the right people. Hosted by industry experts, join these guided conversations to gain insight into topics including treaties and co-productions, financing, AI, sustainability and more! Up to six delegates can join a Topic Table at one time and are invited to move from one table to another as space allows. Space is filled and managed on a first come first served basis until we hit capacity.
