This year we are welcoming applications from around the world to help shape and host our 2025 programme. As a regional host and member of the programming board you will:

  • Support with programme design, reviewing a selection of proposal submissions and recommending speakers (we estimate this will take about 8 hours of your time during October and November 2024)

  • Promote the Festival in your region and amongst your networks, acting as a spokesperson and advocate for the event and our inclusion and scholarship initiatives (ad hoc social media posts and outreach from November 2024 - March 2025)

  • Chair around 4-6 hours of the Festival live including introducing speakers and hosting live chats and conducting mini on-air interviews with guests (18-19 March 2025).

Who we are looking for

We aim to appoint 3-4 regional hosts to become the shared face of Utterly Content 2025 representing:

  • Asia-Pacific, including Australasia

  • Europe

  • Middle East and Africa

  • North and South America

We are seeking people from diverse backgrounds to step into these important roles. Ideally we are looking for people who:

  • have an existing strong professional network in their region

  • have a strong profile amongst content communities

  • have a clear commitment to professional development and uniting a global content community

  • bring great recommendations and suggestions for speakers and partners from their region that we should invite onto our programme

  • are confident on camera and able to sit in the host seat with ease and presence.

You will be strongly supported by our event team behind the scenes throughout.
