Topic Tables

Drop-in on site - no previous sign up required.

These popular 45-minute informal sessions are a great way to connect with the right people and add to your network. Hosted by industry experts, join these guided conversations to gain insight into specific topics including treaties and co-productions, financing, AI, sustainability and more! Up to 6 delegates can join a topic table at one time; half way through the 45 minute session a bell will ring inviting delegates to move to another table as space allows. 

Space is filled and managed on a first come first served basis until we hit capacity.
