White Rabbit Communications attending the 2013 Banff World Media Festival
Over the last three decades, the Banff World Media Festival has attracted a cross-section of television and digital media professionals. The festival delivers a comprehensive examination of the most critical issues facing the television and digital media industries and highlights the latest in digital media innovation.
Over 150 Development Executives and television and digital media professionals from all over the world attend to engage in revolutionary insight, and to celebrate the best in international television and digital media production.
“I was lucky enough to attend last year, and it was just a great learning experience and opportunity to forge new relationships, examine issues facing the TV and digital media industries, and focus on how media is currently being shaped, distributed and consumed by audiences today. As a content producer and consumer, this year’s festival is a chance for me to learn even more about the evolving media landscape,” says Joyce.
The festival allows attendees to participate in in-depth spotlights, face-to-face meetings with key decision makers, and networking opportunities with top advertising agencies, producers, media buyers and other technology companies.
This year, Joyce is heading to Banff to pitch three new television and digital media content ideas to development executives at CBC, Shaw, Corus Entertainment and Fox Television.
“We have some fantastic out-of-the-box ideas and we are presenting them in a really captivating way. I’m looking forward to sharing them with decision makers and receiving their feedback.”
For first time attendees, Joyce offers the following advice:
Don’t think of it as a “festival”. It is far more like a conference. The dress is business casual and the tone is professional.
Pack for all types of weather. Last year there was snow on the ground at the Banff gates!
Plan your schedule beforehand. There are so many great sessions and you can only pack them all in if you plan ahead!
