Join us for a morning of insight and opportunity as we explore how Hertfordshire’s thriving film & TV sector is driving sustainable growth - and how your business could be part of it.
Hertfordshire has firmly established itself as the global centre for film and screen industries, surpassing Los Angeles in production activity. The region's screen industry is both historically and globally significant, with Elstree Film Studios celebrating its centenary this year. Iconic films such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Muppet Show, and The Shining were produced here, alongside the latest blockbusters including Wicked and Barbie at Sky Studios Elstree.
Film and TV production relies on a broad supply chain - from construction and catering, to tech, logistics, and creative services. This event will show Hertfordshire businesses how they can connect with, diversify, and supply to the industry.
