Banff World Television Festival

The Banff World Television Festival is the world's most important television content creation event. Now in its 28th year, this annual forum is dedicated to the development of business and creative opportunities for those in television programming and new media industry. In addition to honouring excellence in international television, the Festival provides a global platform for networking, discussion and debate, and explores current issues and challenges within the industry.

The 2007 Festival takes place June 10-13, 2007, at the Fairmont Banff Springs in the Canadian Rockies, and will draw television professionals from around the world. Features will include provocative seminars, inspiring Master Classes, unique pitching opportunities and more.

The Festival combines a prestigious international program competition, the Banff World Television Awards (in Partnership with Alberta Film), with a comprehensive conference agenda.
