Researchers in the faculty may be interested in the forthcoming AHTV conference, which is run by the AHRC and delivered by the Edinburgh TV Festival. The conference brings together academics and TV producers to discuss working together, with masterclasses, a keynote speech, and a chance to hear direct from TV commissioners.

AHTV is a programme of sessions, panels, speed meetings and round-table discussions designed to bring together academics working in the Arts and Humanities with Television professionals to foster relationships and improve understanding between the two. Previous speakers include David Olusoga, Bettany Hughes, Emma Dabiri and Sathnam Sanghera as well as commissioners from the BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky Arts.

It is taking place in London and online on the 22^nd March 2023. Tickets are free via the AHRC and applications open on Monday: https://www.thetvfestival.com/talent-schemes/ahtv/Link opens in a new window
