- Importance of education at an early age
- Importance of mentoring
- The importance of getting the message out that there as an industry behind the screen
- What the industry can be doing to support Rise and other initiatives
The panel will be hosted by Nicki Fisher, chair of the board at Rise, and will also feature Polly Hickling, course leader, Media Technology at Solent University and Stefania Popescu, systems engineer, Sky.
