The science and factual media landscape is changing rapidly, and this year’s WCSSFP will tackle the biggest questions facing our industry. Through a programme of thought-provoking sessions, we’ll explore topics including the impact of AI on creativity and production, the growing influence of YouTube and social media creators, emerging funding models, and the future of science storytelling in a fragmented media environment. These conversations won’t shy away from the challenges, but they will focus on the opportunities they create for innovation, collaboration, and growth.
