BMF 24 . 13-14 NOV . THE MAC, BELFAST

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.

Last year’s edition of the Belfast Media Festival yielded our largest turnout ever: across two days, the festival offered the knowledge and opinions of 40 brilliant speakers to over 1200 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.

The Belfast Media Festival is returning to The MAC for its fifteenth year on November 13th and 14th, 2024.
