KIT SHOW 2024

Wildscreen 2024 saw the return of our iconic kit show, dedicated to showcasing the companies and technology at the cutting edge of natural world storytelling.

Meet the world's leading providers of natural history kit to hear about their latest products and expert insights.

We partnered with world-renowned provisioners of filmmaking equipment, accessories, and expertise to exhibit throughout this year’s festival. Wildscreen delegates benefited from the knowledge of those working at the heart of this industry, gaining insights on which kit best complements their craft.

In return, our exhibitors were able to engage directly with Wildscreen delegates to hear their perspectives and advise on how their products are best suited to them as creatives, proving to be a brilliant opportunity for providers to liaise directly with existing and new consumers in the natural history industry.

Additionally, in our 2024 festival we were able to introduce a dedicated workshop space, where experts and ambassadors were able to share their top tips on specialist subjects. This space hosted a series of interactive sessions designed to delve beneath the surface and provide bespoke advice to attendees.
