About the World Congress of Science and Factual Producers
The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers (WCSFP) is a member-driven organization formed by science and factual producers, broadcasters and content providers from around the world. Members represent a who’s who of factual programming, including Discovery, National Geographic, Smithsonian Networks, BBC, Channel 4, ITV, other international public broadcasters such as PBS, NHK, France Televisions, CBC, ARTE, ZDF and ABC, and streamers such as Netflix and YouTube.
Each year, members gather for an annual conference in a different country to connect through meetings and social events, learn about new industry trends through sessions and speakers, showcase the best factual programming from around the world, collaborate and do business, be inspired, spark debate and discussion to inform future business.
Registration to attend Congress brings with it membership in the organisation.
