Background

The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers (WCSFP) is a member-run organisation that represents science and other factual producers and broadcasters around the world. The WCSFP welcomes hundreds of leading international broadcasters and producers each year and has become a must-attend event for those working in specialist factual television.

WCSFP features an outstanding three-day program of workshops, networking events, pitch sessions and panels that will reveal emerging content trends and highlight important industry issues. Broadcast company attendees from previous years include: ABC TV, ARTE, BBC, CBC, Channel 4, Channel 5, Discovery Channel US, Discovery Channel Canada, Discovery Science, France 5, National Geographic Int., NDR, NHK, Rai, Thirteen/WNET and WGBH. The 2007 event maintained a two-to-one ratio of independent producers to broadcasters, ensuring plenty of valuable time for networking and deal-making.

The WCSFP will also feature the return of popular services including commissioning editor lunches, an on-demand video library of delegates' productions, as well as evening networking events and special social activities.

The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers is a not-for-profit, member-run organisation dedicated to celebrating the best in specialist factual production. Past Congresses have been held in Melbourne (2009), Florence (2008) New York (2007), Manchester (2006), Tokyo (2005), Toronto (2004), Paris (2003), Berlin (2002) and Washington, DC (2001).
