Past Events

Celtic Media Festival strives not only to foster collaborations between the Celtic Nations and Regions, but to bring the wider broadcasting community to our delegates.

To this end, the Celtic Media Festival International Pitching Forum was created in 2016. 

In 2016, the Festival invited decision makers from New Zealand and Australia to attend the festival. Not only did they be take part in the pitching forum, but they also took part in the speed networking sessions, as well.

In 2019, the Festival invited a delegation of Canadian producers to the Festival along with a commissioner from CBC Television who took part in the International Pitching Forum.

International Commissioners from past events include:

	Fiona Gilroy Content Sales and Acquisitions Director Flame Distribution
	Lisa Duff Content Sales and Acquisitions Director Screen Australia
	Jade Christian Commissioning Editor NITV
	Jane Wrightson Chief Executive NZ on Air
	Mike Rehu Head of Content Māori Television
	Grazyna Krupa Executive in Charge of ARTS Programming CBC Television

Speed Networking

Every year, the Festival hosts Speed Networking sessions.
These include Producer to Commissioner and Producer to Producer sessions.
