The Belfast Media Festival is a hub for inspiration, imagination and innovation. It’s a place to make new partnerships, rekindle old connections and discover new outlets for creative ideas.
After two years without a live event, our return in 2022 yielded our largest turnout ever: across two days, the festival offered the knowledge and opinions of 40 brilliant speakers to over 1000 registered delegates, including students, freelancers, indies, broadcasters, commissioners, developers, producers, writers and famous faces. The festival audience is dominated by local attendees, with special guests from the UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond.
