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.

We welcome traditional broadcasters, producers, digital creators, and emerging storytellers alike. No matter the platform, we share a common goal: using the power of factual storytelling to inform, inspire, and make a positive impact. Beyond the conference sessions, attendees can look forward to one of the most welcoming and connected communities in the industry. What sets WCSFP apart is its openness. Here, emerging talent can find themselves in conversation with commissioners, executives, producers, and creators from across the world, all within a welcoming and approachable environment.

Whether you're looking for market intelligence, collaborators, funders, mentors, or simply great conversations, you'll find them at WCSFP in Tallinn this 9-12 November. 

The 2026 programme is still taking shape, so check back in late summer to see how the schedule is coming together. Trust us – it’ll be worth the wait.
