Networking

When looking into networking I first found BECTUs freelance fair as I have already been looking into what BECTU do as an organisation, however, I wanted to find another event as well as this to see what other opportunities are out there to meet industry professional in film and television. When searching I found a lot of different events for a range of roles and a lot of events in America however the event I found the most interesting and appropriate is the BVE or the Broadcast Video Expo. That has support from so many companies including BECTU as well as AVVID and the BBC etc, which is an amazing opportunity for someone trying to break in as the expo has panels on how the industry is changing and developing to learn from, has professionals speak about new and innovative projects and shows new cameras and equipment, which is specifically good for my role.
