Panel sessions include four ‘Meet the Commissioners’ sessions covering specialist factual, digital channels, factual entertainment and current affairs; on the spot interviews with the executives that shape your world; Big Screen Stories; The three hundred and sixty degree spin; Alternative funding (chaired by DFG’s own Andy Glynne); Where next for factual and many many more..

The speaker line up includes Hamish Mykura, Richard Klein, Angus Macqueen, Roly Keating, Dorothy Byrne to name but a few.

The event has been moved to The Arts Club (still in London W1) this year and now has a drawing room for paid delegates’ complimentary coffees, teas, soft drinks and lunchtime club sandwiches. There are also free drinks for paid delegates on Wednesday evening, running with the June edition of DFG's 10 x 10 evening.
