The World Congress of Science and Factual Producers (WCSFP) is THE must-attend gathering for producers, broadcasters and distributors working in factual television. Previously held in Florence, Italy (2008), New York, USA (2007), Manchester, UK (2006), and Tokyo, Japan (2005), the 2009 WCSFP was held in Melbourne, Australia. We helped secure the Congress for Melbourne and act as consultants to the organisers.
