The Winter King: Panel Event

As well as the first episode and a series preview, there'll be a panel with the series' cast and crew – focussing not just on the Welsh talent on both sides of the lens, but discussing how newcomers to the industry were able to get involved.

The Winter King stars Iain De Caestecker as Arthur, in this latest telling of the Arthurian legend based on Bernard Cornwell’s The Warlord Chronicles novels. Filmed in Wales and the West Country by Bad Wolf, it is set to hit ITV’s streaming services later this year.

Mind the Skills Gap

This session with an expert panel explores

  • What the roles and skills are for which there needs to be training?
  • How are we going to meet that need at the required pace?
  • How can education and training providers ensure they have effective and relevant training?
  • What are the opportunities for people entering the industry and how do they know which courses and paths to pursue?
