This year, TellyCast has partnered with the National Film and Television School (NFTS) to offer a tranche of free tickets to UK TV freelancers.
The initiative forms part of the Prime Video Pathway (PVP), an Amazon Prime-backed programme delivered with NFTS to support the reskilling and upskilling of freelancers across all regions, roles and genres. Since launching in October 2025, the wider Reskill & Upskill programme has supported 2,683 experienced TV freelancers across the UK during a challenging period for the industry.
In addition to providing hands-on insights into publishing, monetisation and scaling content across platforms, the event will also include networking opportunities.
Justin Crosby, founder of TellyCast, said: “Today is your last chance to join us for this fantastic event. We’ve brought together people who are actively building and monetising digital businesses, and who can share practical, experience-led insight rather than theory. The focus is very much on what’s working right now – from platform strategy and IP to formats and revenue models – and giving attendees clear, usable takeaways they can apply immediately. So, if you’re free on Monday, come along!”
