BBC Showcase is the world's largest international television market hosted by a single distributor. Held annually in Brighton, the event sees 1000s of hours of new British television pitched to foreign broadcasters, and is attended by over 500 buyers from more than 100 countries.
As well as new programme screenings the timetable of events includes Showcase Premières, which preview projects currently in production or development. And a full programme of evening entertainment - themed around key titles - provides an opportunity to meet the stars and production teams, as well as mingle with friends and colleagues in an enjoyable but informative and productive atmosphere.
This year we announced that BBC Showcase will move to Liverpool in 2012.
The move to ACC Liverpool follows a detailed bidding process, initiated
in response to pressure in recent years for BBC Showcase to grow in size
and ambition as demand for UK content grows and the client base expands
in new sectors such as digital. The event is now in its 35th year and
has been held in Brighton for much of this time. Other host destinations
have included Bristol, Edinburgh, Jersey and Stratford-upon-Avon.
The event is now a must for any international broadcaster, with BBC Worldwide now Europe's largest exporter of television content.
The event is now completely digital. The "digibooths" at BBC Showcase offer all buyers a bespoke video-on-demand service, allowing them to give instant feedback on programming they view and significantly improves BBC Worldwide's sales analysis at the event.
