As part of the BBC's Reflect and Represent Week, this joint RTS/BBC event will examine the financial arguments for television diversity, both on and off screen.

On-screen diversity will look at the issue of attracting an audience in the UK and whether a more diverse demographic (gender, race, sexuality, disability) can attract a larger audience. And whether on screen diversity helps sell British programmes abroad or whether the foreign market prefers a less diverse range of actors.

Diversity behind the camera will look at recent studies that show that more diverse teams are more profitable, have more original thoughts and prevents "group think".
