The first two days of the conference will take place in The Lowry, a theatre and gallery complex. The Lowry houses two large theatres, a gallery exhibiting the work of the early 20th century painter L. S. Lowry and other facilities including bars, restaurants and shops. As an attendee at TVX, you will listen to talks from world-leading researchers and industry practitioners in the impressive Quays theatre, attend a drinks reception in the Lowry Promenade and dine in the 360 degree panorama of the Compass Room, with its views across ITV’s Coronation Street Studios and Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium.
The third day of the conference will take place right in the heart of the BBC’s Manchester headquarters, Quay House. As a TVX attendee, you’ll take part in our innovative bazaar event, a day of interactive sessions and exhibits designed to provoke discussion, networking and collaboration amongst researchers and industry.
