Register now for UK China Development Training Day
The day will cover formatted entertainment, factual entertainment and factual programming. Specialist trainers from Grand Scheme Media will help attendees to examine successful formats and then set up groups to work together and respond to a commissioning challenge.
On the day, five teams will be created, each led by a senior executive or development expert working in UK television. The teams must work up an idea for a format based on a ‘commissioning brief’. At the end of the day, they will pitch their ideas to a panel of current commissioning editors and a prize will be awarded to the best idea!
