The Edinburgh TV Festival will return to an in-person event this year, with organisers hoping for a return to normality following two previous digital events.
The festival will be held across three days in the summer, between 24-26 August, with passes for this year's event to go on sale at the end of the month.
Organisers have announced that the Festival will return to its home at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, with YouTube and Screen Scotland involved in presenting the popular event.

The 2021 Festival was one of the most successful in its 46-year history with speakers including Billy Connolly, Greta Thunberg, Tan France, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Steve Coogan.
Connolly was actually awarded the Edinburgh Television Festival Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 for his services towards the industry.
News on this year’s speakers, sessions and the new advisory chair will be announced in due course.
There will also be a number of in-person and live streamed sessions related to topical issues, hosted in the months leading up to the Festival including a special ‘BBC at a Crossroads’ session on Thursday 10 February at 9.30am hosted by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, discussing the future of the BBC and the Licence Fee.
Speaking on his delight at the Festival returning to an in-person event, Managing Director Campbell Glennie said: "We’re thrilled to be back in the city we love to bring the whole TV industry together for a much-needed and well-deserved celebration.
"The past two years have raised vital issues which we will continue to address at 2022’s Festival as well as showcasing the very best of the global TV landscape. We can’t wait to see you all there."
Glennie added: "We can confirm the Festival will take place on 24-26 August so save the dates and register for our pre-sale to be first in line for a strictly limited number of our best value passes and to be the first to hear announcements."
