SEE ALL SPEED MEETING HOSTS HERE
Speed Meetings are a fantastic opportunity for producers to meet one-on-one with leading film agents, buyers, distributors and financiers. This is your opportunity to connect with partners who can help take your film project to the next stage.
144 pre-set one-on-one Speed Meeting opportunities will be available during the two days of the Film Summit. All meetings will be seven (7)-minutes long with a three (3)-minute transition time between sessions.
Sign-up period:
October 24, 12:00 PM ET - November 9, 5:00 PM ET
How to sign up: Only registered delegates can sign up for Speed Meetings. Each delegate will initially be able to sign up for two (2) Speed Meeting sessions and one (1) Standby Spot. These sessions are first-come, first-served and might fill up quickly. If that's the case, keep checking back throughout the sign-up period - sessions could free up if people switch or drop out.
Buyer Profiles will be available for review ahead of the sign-up period to ensure you know what each 'buyer' is looking for, get insider tips on the buyers’ current mandates and ensure a good match with your work.
If you don't get a one-on-one Speed Meeting spot - or if there’s someone else you'd love to meet with - there are hundreds of opportunities available to connect with potential partners, funders, distributors, agents and buyers via the curated group meeting opportunities below. These sessions are "drop-in" with no advance sign-up required.
