Event Profile
This event is organised by Screen Waterford, Screen Wexford, Screen Kilkenny & YIFM supported by the National Talent Academies & Creative Europe Desk Ireland, to provide opportunity, insight, inspiration and connections to emerging talents in the screen sector.
Screen Southeast is set to deliver a full day of creativity, connection, and opportunity. Join a vibrant community of emerging talent as you take part in dynamic, hands-on workshops designed to spark collaboration and inspire new ideas. The day will feature two powerful panel discussions—one focused on breaking through as emerging talent, and another exploring how to build and sustain a long-term career in the screen industries. The experience culminates in an energising networking session, giving you the chance to meet like-minded creatives, exchange ideas, and begin meaningful conversations that could lead to your next big collaboration.
