Yorkshire

With the screen industry booming in Yorkshire and teams looking to hire more inclusively, we will be hosting an honest conversation about what we can do to ensure we are ready, willing and open to invest in the best talent from a diverse pool.

This will be a safe facilitated space to ask the questions we might be nervous to ask and raise any of the concerns and questions we are all currently facing. It is a chance to enquire about the things we fear may be inappropriate and work out how we can improve and what we can put in place to ensure progress.

Join us for a chance to congratulate and commiserate with your colleagues over a drink at our first Nomination Party. It's been another extraordinary year for TV production in our region, so there is a lot to talk about.

This is a free event, but please REGISTER your interest above. 

The bar will be open from 7pm and the nominations will be announced at 8pm.

Your hosts for the evening are RTS Yorkshire Award winners and BBC Radio Leeds presenters, Larry and Paul. 

We would also like to thank our sponsors for the evening; Prime Studios.and Archive
