Collaboration Station Cocktail

Drop-in on site - no sign up required.

**New to BANFF** This lively table hopping event is the festival’s best opportunity to collaborate with creative minds! Drop by Collaboration Station to find your creative matches! Chat with key industry creatives and execs from leading channels/platforms and production and media companies. When the session starts, delegates come in, grab a drink and start circulating from table to table to have a chat with the table hosts.

Leave the money talk at the door, this event is about having creative discussions and building relationships (it’s time to nerd out about the art of tv-making!) And we strongly encourage you to work your way around the room rather than staying at one table. Space is filled and managed on a first-come, first-served basis until we hit capacity.

A bar will be available stocked with wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages!
