Event Details

TV Club: CBBC & CBeebies

When: Monday 24th January 2011, 5.00pm - 8.00pm

Where: Mint Hotel Leeds (Formally City Inn)

Following on from the success of the previous two TV Club events featuring keynote speeches from Richard Deverell (Chief Operating Officer, BBC Manchester Salford Quays) and the man who initiated the unprecedented move of BBC departments to the North, former BBC Director General, Greg Dyke, we find ourselves in the privileged position of hosting two of the most influential people from the newly re-located BBC Children's department - CBeebies Controller, Kay Benbow and CBBC Creative Director, Damian Kavanagh.  This is an opportunity to meet the heads of these two departments of BBC Children's and find out what their vision is for the future of children's programming, what they are looking for in terms of content provision, and how indies can engage with children's programming at the BBC. Private 121 meetings with Kay and Damian will be available. 

The TV Club continues to be partly funded and supported by Screen Yorkshire & Science City York. For the last 18 months we have been able to bring these events to Yorkshire free of charge. However as public funding decreases, opportunities like this have to become chargeable to be viable and sustainable. Therefore we have introduced a minimal charge of £10.00 to cover the event's organisational costs. Refreshments and catering are included in the ticket price.

The format is as follows:  


5.00pm - 5.15pm     Arrival & Welcome

5.15pm - 6.15pm     Briefing from Kay Benbow, CBeebies Controller & Damian Kavanagh, CBBC   Creative Director.

6.15pm - 6.45pm     Q & A, plus open networking

6.45pm - 7.30pm     Additional networking plus time for private meetings with Kay & Damien

7.30pm - 8.30pm     Drinks

The TV Club originated as a network run by it's members so as always we really value your suggestions as to how we develop these events for the future.

We look forward to seeing you there!
