Early Bird Passes On Sale for AIDC 2024
SAVE ON BUSINESS PASSES & ALL ACCESS PASSES
The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) has opened sales of discounted Early Bird Passes for its next annual event, taking place at ACMI in Melbourne / Naarm from 3-6 March 2024, with an additional online marketplace taking place 7-8 March 2024.
Don’t miss the chance to save on Business Passes (for executive, broadcaster and corporate delegates) and All Access Passes (for independent and non-corporate delegates), with a very limited number available at discounted early bird rates until sold out.
AIDC is the most inspiring annual gathering in the Australian documentary and factual industry calendar, welcoming over 800 local and international delegates to the March 2023 event – the highest number in 20 years and the most-ever attendees since the conference moved to Melbourne in 2016.
With the first reveal of the 2024 program and marketplace line-up due in October, AIDC will continue to consolidate its reputation as the premier event in the Southern Hemisphere for the nonfiction film, television, streaming and digital media industries.
