The 2026 edition of Pact Content Without Borders (CWB) will take place in Durham on Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd September.
This year’s event will focus on unscripted productions and will see UK producers connect with global buyers and distributors looking for the next big format hit, studio-based shows and factual TV series for linear and digital first platforms.
Delegates can look forward to hearing unscripted market insights and commissioner and distributor priorities during panels and breakout sessions, as well as having opportunities to pitch 1-2-1 and get to know each other over two days.
CWB 2026 is supported by North East Screen, the Department for Business and Trade, Geo Pura and Audio Network. It follows on the heels of a record-breaking 2025 edition of CWB, which also took place in Durham but focused on scripted productions. CWB 2025 generated over £50 million in reported potential business, more than double the previous highest-performing year.
