Additional Options
Wednesday Workshops
Four pre-conference Wednesday Workshops are on offer this year:
‘Beyond the Pitch’ is a workshop which recognises that business success depends on more than just pitching. It offers an overview of the ‘7 Step
Sales Framework’ in relation to content and product and will focus on 2 key steps to sales success, how you approach potential clients and the
following stage that will dramatically change your business meetings forever. It explains how to develop deals, manage your financier through the
project and even increase your chances of repeat business.
Facilitator: Mellissa Norman (media-sauce)
The international Co-pro Clinic will provide delegates with everything they need to know about seeking out sources of funding, building a co-
production deal, and managing multiple partners for a successful creative and business outcome. Following last year’s popular format the workshop
will invite participants who feel ready to tender a project for development in the break-out teams. Participants without projects will also be
welcomed into those teams to also experience the “hands on” process. A rage of experts in international content and editorial, legal and
business affairs, distribution, licensing, and multi-territory production partnerships will give initial advice to the workshop and then work with
the break-out teams. Pitch training will prepare each team for their moment of truth in front of an international commissioner panel, and the
session will end with speed networking so that all participants can get direct personal advice from the experts.
Facilitators: Gary Pope (Kids Industries) & Sarah Baynes (The Creative Garden)
Focusing on revenue generation and the opportunities in cross-media exploitation, this workshop will offer case-studies of specific projects, and then examine how concepts can be developed with monetisation in mind.
Facilitators: Justin Judd, Peter Cowley
Presented in association with the Indie Training Fund
The Crossover process brings people and companies together to generate innovative ideas and new partnerships. In this half-day lab, creative individuals are invited to develop new ideas around the theme of "making an impact" with kids
and young people. The Lab will offer information on new technologies and software, and will culminate in some of the ideas generated being taken on by local digital agencies. The agencies will then work up the proposals into pitches to be
presented at a special Conference session on the 2nd July to broadcasters, brand owners and funders for their comments on the best routes to market and monetisation.
Facilitator: Frank Boyd (Crossover Labs)

Our famous Wednesday night supper at Pizza Express
After last year’s great success of our first Pizza Express supper we have booked the whole restaurant again and can offer a set menu to delegates, which can be pre-booked in advance.
Appropriately enough, it’s going to be a bit like a kids’ birthday party. A selection of starters and pizza slices will come to your table as soon as they are ready from the oven; so you will be able to try a variety of different dishes from the list. Vegetarian options are included in the selection.

Tickets are limited and available on a first come - first served basis. The price is £16.60 + VAT.
