Friday, November 13-Saturday, November 14  •  2 PM-5:30 PM

 

In an increasingly global content economy, Canadian factual and unscripted creators are proving that local perspectives can drive international success. “MADE IN CANADA — SEEN EVERYWHERE” is a forward-looking theme that celebrates the strength, originality, and export potential of Canadian IP across documentary, lifestyle, reality, true crime, formats, and premium factual entertainment.

This year’s FactualWEST conference brings together producers, broadcasters, streamers, distributors, financiers, creators, and industry leaders to explore how Canadian ideas are competing — and succeeding — on the world stage.

While still celebrating our ability to serve international productions, and learning from beyond our borders, we will look at shows created across Canada with a focus on Vancouver, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the Yukon.

It’s time for us to invest in ourselves first! As audiences demand more real stories and platforms seek distinctive voices, Canadian creators are no longer simply participating in the global market — they are shaping it. MADE IN CANADA — SEEN EVERYWHERE is where the next generation of exportable Canadian IP, strategic partnerships, and international opportunities begins.
