World Congress of Science & Factual Producers names 2027 location

World Congress of Science & Factual Producers (WCSFP) has unveiled the location of its 2027 edition.

Organisers have confirmed the event will be heading to Riva del Garda, Trentino, Italy, and run between 8 and 11 November, 2027.

The news comes as WSCFP wraps up its latest edition that took place this week in Tallinn, Estonia.

WCSFP is led by editorial director Sara Ramsden, who spoke to Broadcast International prior to the Tallinn event about the major issues facing the sector.

Pointing to developments across digital and the potential of alternative financing involving brands, Ramsden said she was keen to look beyond traditional models to sustain the sector.

“We can’t afford to be too nostalgic about how things used to work. We need to be curious about what comes next,” she said.

“I wouldn’t want to pretend that the pressures on independent producers have suddenly disappeared. Budgets are tight and companies are under enormous pressure.

“But I do sense a growing appetite to look beyond the traditional models. I think that’s one of the reasons Congress matters so much this year. We need to get people talking about what’s working and where the opportunities are. I don’t think we can afford to be too nostalgic about how things used to work. We need to be curious about what comes next.”
