Ever wondered how programmes get commissioned?

How hard can it be to pitch your idea to a panel of experts in TV? 

How To Pitch will discuss the most toe-curling pitches - from freezing up, to ideas that are just plain ridiculous, and hear the experiences of our panel on the pitfalls of pitching programme ideas. This session will demystify the process of how a programme idea ends up on our screens and provide you with a comprehensive guide of what’s hot and what’s not in TV today.  Plus top tips on how to give a successful pitch under pressure.
