International Stage

An interactive, audience-facing session in which creators pitch their show ideas live to a panel of senior international commissioners and industry experts. The format gives independent producers and emerging voices a rare moment of direct access to decision-makers, with constructive feedback delivered in real time and the chance to be remembered by the people who decide what gets made. The panel brings together commissioning and creative leaders from Podimo, CBC, Unedited and ABC, offering a deliberately international view on what makes a pitch land — and what it takes to turn an idea into a global show.
