Our IHS delegates made the most of their time at Content London this week!

Year one and year two cohorts took part in roundtable sessions with Lindsay Salt, Director of Drama at the BBC, and Johanna Deveraux, Commissioner for Apple UK and Europe.

They also attended the Screen Scotland Content London Reception, where they had the chance to meet Angus Robertson MSP, Scotland's Cabinet Secretary for Culture.

It was a productive trip that gave our delegates valuable insight into the latest trends and meaningful new connections with colleagues from the Nations and beyond.
