The EBU Creative Forum is the annual event showcasing the most innovative European PSM factual and entertainment formats produced recently. It is a unique forum offering EBU Members and organizations from other public broadcasting unions worldwide the opportunity to engage in dialogue about TV formats, organize co-productions and the sharing of studio facilities, and pool their creative potential. It is organized by the EBU in close cooperation with the Formats Core Group.

Originally planned to be held in the north of Italy at the kind invitation of Prix Italia, the EBU Creative Forum 2020 will now be a fully virtual event due to ongoing COVID-related restrictions. Following Zoom’s recent improvements to user security and privacy, the EBU has decided to continue using this platform for upcoming online events and will deploy it in the safest and most secure way. We take user security and privacy extremely seriously and want to provide our Members with the safest virtual event experience, including a reliable platform for sharing knowledge and content online.
