RTS NW Student Networking Day 2025

The RTS NW annual student & industry networking day returned to dock10 at Media City for another sold-out event in March…

This event always provides a fantastic opportunity for the region's Higher Education students to engage and network with media industry professionals and 2025 was no exception.

Students and graduates met the region’s key professionals and production companies and made links with the organisations who can support them on the next steps of their journey.

ITV news legend and University of Salford Chancellor Lucy Meacock provided the opening key-note session and then panels explored changes within the media industry with a focus on creativity, AI, and immersive storytelling. 

The lunchtime sessions offered an opportunity to put networking skills to good use as screen sector professionals, producers and leaders of North West based organisations joined delegates for informal conversations and advice.

Five industry led workshops then took place during the afternoon ranging from scripted development, AI and Virtual Production to Sports Journalism, and unscripted ideas development.
