Returning for 2026, this networking session is an opportunity for Irish filmmakers, producers, festival programmers and resource organisations to engage directly, discuss future plans and projects and hear about festival planning timelines. 

The session will include a panel discussion with festival programmers in attendance followed by the opportunity to engage directly with them. 

The Galway Film Fleadh is an important meeting point for the Irish film industry, with many festival directors travelling to Galway with Culture Ireland support.
