Industry Hangout

We've always tried to go the extra mile at ShAFF in looking after not only our visitors, but our sponsors, filmmakers, VIPs, press representatives, and any other outdoor industry representatives. We've proud of our reputation as the 'friendly Festival'. This year we've launched "the Industry Hangout"...

Dave Mycroft from MyOutdoors and Tony O'Donnell from The Outdoor Times are are main points of contact to help different industry representatives who will be at the festival to get together, connect, network, have coffee etc.

So if you're a budding filmmaker and want to pitch an idea to a potential sponsor, or if you're a sponsor and you'd like to talk to a filmmaker about an idea, drop us a line with details of who you would like to meet, when you will be at the festival, and briefly what you'd like to discuss.

If you'd prefer to be less formal about things, just look at the list below, head along and hope that you bump into them in the bar, or come find us and we'll try to make an introduction. The list below should give you an idea of who will be at the event.

If you'd like to go to any of these events, they are all free but if you don't already have an invite, YOU DO NEED TO REGISTER AS SPACE IS LIMITED. Please use the form below. Tickets can be collected from the Box Office during the weekend.
