FOCUS 2022 – Meet the makers

FOCUS, the end of year meeting place for the international production community, is back in full force for its 8th edition. 

FOCUS remains free to attend for industry professionals and embraces the increasing convergence of all audiovisual disciplines, attracting thousands of attendees from across the creative screen industries – including film, TV, advertising, animation, games and XR. It is the only UK trade event where attendees can meet with content makers and facilitators from over 100 countries.

The traditional two-day in-person event takes place at the Business Design Centre London on 6/7 December, offering a packed programme of conference sessions, networking events, facilitated meetings and exhibition zones. FOCUS Virtual will run 8/9 December enabling delegates from across the globe to engage online.  

Delegates can discover millions of dollars of filming incentives and find the most up-to-date advice on the current filming situation around the world. Over 200 companies are exhibiting at the Business Design Centre this year, with an A-Z of stands from APU Productions Peru right through to the Zagreb Film Office.
