Nestled deep within the Rockie Mountains, lies one of the world's most breathtaking landscapes - Banff, Canada. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is also home to the world's most important television content creation event, the Banff World Television Festival (BWTVF). Celebrating its 28th year, BWTVF continues to promote its mandate of developing business and creative opportunities internationally for those in television programming and new media.
The Festival's importance extends far beyond its tagline, "Where Great Television is Born". BWTVF is also a major force in the international television business marketplace. More than $720 million in deals were secured or facilitated at BWTVF 2006 - a staggering figure that translates into an average of almost $500,000 per delegate.
"Each year, the international who's who of key producers, broadcasters and content creators converge on Banff to collaborate, be inspired and do business," explains BWTVF CEO Robert Montgomery. "There is no doubt that the Festival is a very vital and important component of the global television industry."
Building on its lucrative momentum, BWTVF 2007 is quickly shaping up to surpass the many creative and financial successes of previous years. With UKTV, Canal Plus, ARTE, BBC Television, NBC Universal, ZDF Enterprises and many more international broadcasters already confirmed to attend, delegates will be provided direct access to program buyers, network development executives and distribution companies from around the world. Combine these opportunities with four days of compelling seminars on a variety of provocative television issues and future trends, as well as inspiring Master Classes led by the best and brightest of the international television industry and you arrive at the essence of what the Banff World Television Festival is all about.
The Banff World Television Festival takes place June 10-13, 2007 in Banff, Canada.
