During such a challenging time for the screen industries, it is hugely exciting to be able to bring together ten fantastic companies from across Ireland and Europe to learn from a range of expert tutors and each other.”

Speaking about last year’s programme, participants Christina O’Shea and Clifford Parrott from Magpie 6 Media said: “We would highly recommend Screen Leaders if you are seriously looking to elevate your individual and organisational performance.
