international producers' breakfast
The International Producers' Breakfast in partnership with Edinburgh International Festival has become an important annual event for international arts professionals (producers, programmers, and creators) working in, or attending, the Edinburgh festivals.
The breakfast creates an opportunity to come together, make new connections and sow seeds of collaboration, exchange and partnership for the coming year.
Always free to attend, we strive to make this an accessible event which welcomes a diverse range of international industry professionals.
The competence of the ambassadors in combination with the quality and relevance of the participants. It is by far the best networking event [of the Edinburgh festivals].

Facilitated networking
Delegates are invited to make expressions of interest and provide information on what they would like to achieve and who they would like to meet via an online form prior to the event. We enlist the help of networking ambassadors to give facilitated support to assist attendees who express a desire for it.
Our networking ambassadors do a fantastic job of fostering connections within the event which helps to create a community environment of sharing and connecting.
Having ambassadors, each of whom offered something different, was a blessing - they hung around for the first few minutes to make it feel less like a terrible and awkward blind date! They could also speak to their own practices and experiences of working in the sector. It was very useful that each of them is embedded within the sector and already well known and connected.
