The inaugural UK Screen Investment Summit, led by White Label in partnership with Hertfordshire Futures, takes place on Wednesday 26 November at the iconic and fitting home of British film and television – BAFTA, London.

As a platform for collaboration and investment, the Summit will bring together leaders from UK Government, planning authorities, investors, production houses, international networks, and tech innovators to explore opportunities and overcome challenges, to drive the screen sector’s next phase of growth.

A dynamic programme of expert speakers and high-impact discussions will tackle themes such as ‘Winning more production from non-traditional markets,’ ‘Homegrown and hired: Aligning skills with industry needs,’ and ‘What AI really means for the screen industry’ – sessions that will deliver actionable insights and help shape future strategies, investments and policy across the UK’s creative landscape.

The Summit is a culmination of the work of the UK Screen Investment Programme Steering Group Committee which has met over the last year – in venues including Trowers & Hamlins’ global HQ in Moorgate and Sky Studios Elstree – to discuss issues impacting the industry. The committee will convene for a final pre-Summit dinner in early November, setting the stage for the event.

Chaired by David Conway, Chief Executive, Pinewood Group, the committee has included representatives from Action for Freelancers, Amazon, British Film Commission, Department for Business and Trade, Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, Elstree Studios, Sky Studios Elstree, Garden Studios, National Film and Television School (NFTS), RD Studios, Oxygen Studios, PACT, Screen Skills UK, Screen Alliance North, Warner Bros Leavesden.

The programme is led by White Label in partnership with Hertfordshire Futures along with Associate Partners, Hertfordshire Growth Board and McLaren; Supporting Partner, Trowers & Hamlins; Event Partner, University of Hertfordshire; and Media Partner, PACT.

“We are delighted to partner with White Label to deliver this exciting and important initiative supporting the growth of film and TV in Hertfordshire and across the UK regions,” said Celia Taylor, Hertfordshire Futures Board Member and CEO of Distant Voices Group. “The programme and summit will elevate the UK’s profile within this dynamic and fast-changing sector and build on its tremendous success as we plan for the future.”
