Join the new Director of Factual, Fiona Campbell, for a discussion about how the BBC is future proofing factual content at a time of intense media competition.

With iPlayer proving itself to be one of fast growing streaming services in the UK, the strength of BBC’s content ecosystem has brought great success to programme launches and audience discovery. In this session Commissioners from Factual as well as iPlayer and the new Youtube team will discuss how we commission content to maximise shared enjoyment for moments of discovery, insight, fandom and sheer joy.

Speakers:
Fred Bhat (Executive Producer, Digital & Creators, BBC)
Jack Bootle (Head of Commissioning, Specialist Factual, BBC)
Emma Loach (Acting Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, BBC)
Alistair Pegg (Commissioning Editor, Arts, BBC)
Yasemin Rashit (Channel Editor, BBC iPlayer)
