WFTV Events Schedule
We run a comprehensive and hybrid model with a mixture of in-person and virtual events taking place around the UK, at festivals and online.
These free, weekly events for members cover a diverse range of industry-focused topics via workshops, seminars, panel discussions and screenings, with strands such as Writers’ Group, Meet the Commissioner, and also feature online and in-person networking sessions.
At WFTV, we want our events to be accessible for everyone. If you have any access requirements, please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please contact admin@wftv.org.uk and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
By registering to attend a WFTV event, you comply with WFTV's Member Code of Conduct.
