Banijay’s Christian Wikander Joins TV Drama Festival

Christian Wikander, global head of scripted at Banijay, is lined up for a keynote at the TV Drama Festival, taking place October 3 to 5. You can register here for free.

Wikander spearheads strategic IP creation, drives collaboration across the business’s portfolio of over 60 drama labels, exploits format potential and identifies third-party acquisition opportunities.

The second edition of the TV Drama Festival will feature keynotes and panels with leading executives and creatives discussing the major trends in the business of scripted series today. It will be streamed live and available on-demand on TVDramaFestival.com. Unlike other events requiring hefty registration fees, attendance to the TV Drama Festival is free.

Wikander joins the previously announced participants: Two Brothers Pictures’ Sarah Hammond, Fremantle’s Christian Vesper, A+E Networks’ Alexandra Finlay, All3Media International’s David Swetman and Global Screen’s Ulrike Schröder. Look for more announcements in the coming weeks.
