ANOTHER SEMINAR! THIS TIME IT’S EDINBURGH

Posted on October 6, 2008

Monday 20^th October 2008 7:00pm – 9:00pm

After the success of seminars in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds the Television is Changing campaign is visiting Edinburgh.  Equity members, producers, agents, casting directors and other industry professionals are invited to attend this unique opportunity to discuss the rapidly changing world of television and new media. 

This interactive seminar is designed to give you the opportunity to find out about the work that Equity is doing in response to new technology and the rapidly changes it is bringing to television production, broadcasting and throughout the entertainment industry. There will be lots of chances to ask questions and tell us what you think.

 The key themes covered include:

TV IS CHANGING: The way actors work and are paid will change as a result of the revolution that is taking place in broadcasting. This campaign is part of Equity’s effort to provide you with the information you need to help you make informed choices about the implications of the coming changes.

PAN-INDUSTRY NEGOTIATIONS: Equity has been meeting with representatives of all the major broadcasters and independent producers in the British television industry with the goal of negotiating a pan-industry agreement that will bring together the best of the many individual deals that currently exist.
