About CCC

Every year we travel to a different UK city, each with its own distinct character and screensector. In 2027 we’re heading to Glasgow on 19–20 May, and we’ve been waiting a longtime for this one. CCC was due in Glasgow in 2020, with the Royal Concert Hall booked andthe programme built, before the pandemic took it away from us. Seven years on, we’rewalking back into the same building to finish what we started.
‍
Glasgow is a city awash with talent and creativity. It’s a UNESCO City of Music, it hosted 140productions in 2024 alone, and it has spent the past few years doubling as Gotham for TheBatman and as New York for Spider-Man while also making Shetland, The Buccaneers andLockerbie.
‍
The 2027 theme is It’s a Big Big World. We’ll be asking where the work, the moneyand the audiences really are in 2027 — international co-production and finance, the formatsthat travel, the games sector, the creator economy, and what it takes for a company inScotland and beyond to build a business that doesn’t depend on a single commissioner.

We’ll be at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in the heart of the city. Join us for a mix of industry interviews, panel discussions, meet-the-commissioner sessions, the CCC Awards and lots of great networking opportunities, including our popular drinks event. And for the first time, our Skills Summit — free to attend, now in its third year — shares a roof with the main Convention.

Around 500 people joined us in Liverpool. We’d love you to be one of them in Glasgow.

‍Speakers and programme will be announced soon. Watch this space!

Legacy

At CCC, we believe in nurturing the next generation of media professionals. In 2025, we introduced an opportunity that gave a young person a month's internship opportunity at Clapperboard Studios, a leading production company.

In Liverpool, the internship ran again thanks to Managing Director Mike Benson. More details about the Glasgow internship will follow shortly.
