What better way to spend a Tuesday evening than connecting with colleagues and friends at the Edinburgh TV Festival?

In between attending all the TV festival panels, we welcomed delegates, alumni, board, funders and guests to our TRC Networking Event, with plenty of conversation and new connections made.

As part of their programme, the Factual Fast Track and Series Producer Programme cohorts also attended the festival.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to seeing you at future events!
