Room: Herringham Hall

This is your chance to pitch directly to the man who’s helped shape modern British television. Drawing from his seminal work “STORY” and decades of experience developing hit shows, John Yorke transforms this session into a dynamic workshop where your pitch can go from good to unforgettable in minutes.
Here’s how it works: You get 60 seconds to pitch your television project. Then John does what he does best – breaking down your idea, your presentation, and your pitch with the kind of insight that only comes from sitting through thousands of pitches across a legendary career. It’s a masterclass in understanding what executives actually want to hear and how to deliver it.
Through live analysis of each pitch, you’ll learn how to identify and articulate your show’s unique hook and how to make your idea stand out in a crowded marketplace.
NOTE: Pitching slots are limited and will be allocated on a first-come basis at the start of the session.
