Pitch Us a Talk

Every Friday we offer free, informal lunchtime talks from people sharing projects, process, ideas and provocations around pervasive media and creative technology. If you or someone you know should be a part of our programme, contact Martin O'Leary.

In this session we will be joined by several members of the Watershed team to hear your thoughts, ideas, passions and plans, offer feedback and guidance, and plug you into our wider Pervasive Media Studio community.

We will be joined by members of the Studio team, coordinators from the BFI team, and others. You will be able to find the right person for a chat about whatever you're interested in.
