With shifting production landscapes, economic challenges, and a call for inclusion, the role of effective leadership and management has never been more critical. In this session, three senior industry professionals will join Addie Orfila to share their experiences of becoming leaders in their field— from stepping into senior roles and managing a team, to on-set culture and the state of the industry, plus the support and initiatives available to help with progression. Whether you're leading a team now or aiming to in the future, this session offers practical insight, and a chance to talk about what still needs to change.
