Broadcast Commissioning Conference

The Broadcast Commissioning Conference returns to Manchester on Thursday 23rd November 2006 for another day of insight into the hearts and minds of TV's most influential gatekeepers - the commissioners.

North West Vision is pleased to be supporting fifteen Northwest based companies attending this year's conference, taking place at the Lowry Hotel, Manchester.

Places have been funded by North West Vision's Regional Attraction Fund (RAF) and will allow delegates full access to the event, which includes keynote presentations on overall channel strategies followed by a series of commissioner panel sessions discussing genre specific programming.
