Working with Commissioners.

Channel Open Days

Pact acknowledges the importance of access to commissioners for all indies, whilst we can't secure a commission for our members we can ensure that there are as many opportunities as possible for our members to access the right events and  conferences to network and meet the right people. Pact  is working with key commissioners to ensure its members are given as many opportunities for face-to-face meetings as possible. Channel Open days are one such way to ensure direct contact with commissioners is possible; below is a list of available open days which will benefit your business.
