Returning for an amazing thirteenth year, the Belfast Media Festival has become the leading event in the creative industries calendar in Northern Ireland. It’s a place to network, to be inspired, make new friends and to create new business partnerships.
With a focus on the incredible talent working in the creative industries here, and also highlighting the scope of the international exports which are beamed across the world, this year’s Belfast Media Festival promises to be a celebration of all screen based media with high profile speakers from across film, TV and gaming, aiming to excite, refresh and inspire attendees at all levels.
Having waited two years, the festival is now taking place in-person in The MAC in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter on Wednesday 16th & Thursday 17th November 2022.
