The first wave of speakers has been announced for the 2025 edition of the Digital Content Forum, which will take place on Thursday November 6 at the BFI Southbank in London. Highlights include the participation of much-loved creator Harry Pinero and Victor Bengtsson, managing director of Sidemen Entertainment.
Other social video thought-leaders who have signed up include StudioB’s Molly Webb, Upload Agency’s Stuart Jones, vidIQ’s Rob Wilson, Spirit Studios’ Matt Campion, The Wit’s Caroline Servy, COPA90’s Daniel Parker and Oxford University’s Dr Alex Connock. The event will be curated and hosted by TellyCast’s Justin Crosby, founder of the Digital Content Forum.
Crosby said he is aiming to make the fourth edition of the digital-first event the biggest ever – and will share more details on speakers in the coming weeks and months. “TellyCast’s Digital Content Forum has quickly established itself as the key event for anyone interested in understanding the world of digital-first content and social video. In the coming months, we will share more details of the panels, presentations, pitching and networking events that make up the Forum.”
Among subjects that will be featured at the event is the rapidly-growing digital formats business, with a Digital Formats Lounge being launched for the first time. There will also be a YouTube Clinic and the return of The Drop, a live upfront style event where creators share insights into their content slates.
At time of writing it is still possible to take advantage of a super early bird DCF sign up deal, said Crosby, but this offer expires on August 31st.
