2010 World Congress of Science & Factual Producers : Dresden, Germany November 30 — December 3

Conference

The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers (WCSFP) is pleased to announce that the 18th annual Congress is set for November 30 to December 3, 2010, in Dresden, Germany at host hotel the the Westin Bellevue Dresden. This year’s Congress is made possible with the incredible support of Host Broadcaster ZDF.

Following a string of sold-out successes in Manchester (2006), New York (2007), Florence (2008) and Melbourne (2009), this year’s Congress again promises to be a must-attend event for industry professionals working in specialist factual television.

The WCSFP will also feature the return of popular services including Meet the Commissioning Editor sessions, an on-demand video library of delegates’ productions, as well as evening networking events and special social activities that will take advantage of Melbourne’s many historic and cultural attractions.

The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers is a not-for-profit, member-run organization dedicated to celebrating the best in specialist factual production. Past Congresses have been held in Melbourne (2009), Florence (2008), New York (2007), Manchester (2006), Tokyo (2005), Toronto (2004), Paris (2003), Berlin (2002), and Washington, D.C. (2001). It is administered by a board of directors and a steering committee that deals primarily with editorial matters. The 17th annual Congress is managed by Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival on behalf of the WCSFP.
