*PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED*
12:00PM – 2:30PM
Please join us at this year’s President’s Lunch under the theme “Lights, Camera, Belfast,” shining a spotlight on our fantastic screen and media sector. This exciting event will feature fireside chat interviews hosted by Lynette Fay, showcasing the business side of Northern Ireland’s award-winning and locally celebrated screen industry.
Our guests include acclaimed producer Trevor Birney, celebrated filmmaker Rich Peppiatt, recent BAFTA winner for Kneecap, and the award-winning writing-directing duo Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson, recognised for their work on Blue Lights, now entering its third series.
We will also showcase the significant strides made in our local screen industry, recently bolstered by the opening of Studio Ulster, the largest virtual production facility in Europe. This growth underscores Northern Ireland’s thriving screen sector—not just as a hub of storytelling excellence but as a key driver of investment, funding, and business growth.
The event will be hosted by Lynette Fay, an award-winning broadcaster and producer hailing from Dungannon, Co Tyrone. With a distinguished career spanning over two decades, Lynette has become a prominent figure in Northern Ireland’s media landscape.
