UK & Irish Commercial Production Exchange at Kinsale Sharks Festival | Friday 18th September

We’ll be heading to Kinsale for an open panel bringing together UK and Irish production, agency, and director voices discussing cross market opportunities and the current industry landscape.

The APA will also be introducing Diversity Impact – a new initiative celebrating brands, agencies and production companies putting inclusive values into practice, and exploring what inclusive practice looks like in real terms, both in front of and behind the camera, and how teams can operationalise inclusion across their processes, partnerships and productions.

Featuring Speakers:

👉 Paul Holmes – E.P at Ponder Films

👉 Hannah Lambert – Freelance Producer

👉 Ivona Poljak – Creative at Publicis Dublin

👉 P.O.B – Director at Emerald Pictures & Darling Films

👉 Morgan Whitlock – E.P at The Sweetshop

👉 Tash Bedford – Senior Producer at Grey London

Chaired by:


Steve Davies – CEO at APA

Charlotte Fraser – Head of DE&I at APA

As a festival celebrating the UK and Irish creative industries, we’d love to see delegates from both markets come along, show their support and be part of the conversation.
