An inspiring day of creativity, connection and community at The Spotlight Conference 2025.
The Spotlight Conference has come to an end and what a day it was. Thanks to all of the wonderful speakers, panellists and guests (both in person and online) who joined us to create such an inspiring event. The day was truly special and it was wonderful to see casting directors, agents and performers coming together to discuss key topics in the creative industry. We want to thank everyone for their participation and for sharing their unique perspectives.
Congratulations to our honourees who were recognised at The Spotlight Conference for their work, which has profoundly shaped the industry. Legendary casting director Debbie McWilliams received The Spotlight Conference Lifetime Achievement in Casting Award. Casting director Shaheen Baig was the worthy recipient of The Spotlight Conference Discovery Award. And Ben Frow, Chief Content Officer at Paramount TV, was awarded The Spotlight Conference Broadcast Award.
Take a look at some of the highlights from the day:
We want to extend a special thank you to our incredible sponsor Streets, who you’ll be hearing more from when they join us on The Spotlight Podcast to discuss making tax digital, expenses and more! Thanks also to InterTalent and Narrow Road for sponsoring performer tickets this year. And finally, thank you to The Room Where it Happens for hosting an excellent afterparty for Conference attendees to network and relax.
We’ll be sharing highlights from the sessions in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
