Our speakers range from Richard Davidson-Houston, Head of All 4 and Digital Content at Channel 4 and the National Theatres Emma Keith to Youtube Star Harrison Web and Suffragette location manager Harriet Lawrence, all of whom have embraced the show and are prepared to share experiences and knowledge within a forum that is very inclusive.
