The 2025 Formats Forum will take place on 16 and 17 September 2025, in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the kind invitation of DR. Register now!

Following the success of our 2024 edition, the event will not only highlight our Members' best formats, but also provide a space to learn, discuss, and explore the latest format trends, challenges, and innovations.

Participants will also have a first-hand chance to express marks of interest in further collaboration in the formats they find most compelling. As usual, we will recognize the top formats presented during the event and voted for by the participants.

Additionally, the event will serve as a collaborative platform and networking opportunity for Members to connect and engage with their peers.

The event will take place in person and is open to EBU Members only. There is no fee to attend the event. Have a look at hotel recommendations below for your stay in Copenhagen.
