Bold, disarming and brilliantly unpredictable, The Assembly has quickly become one of the most talked-about formats in television—turning the traditional interview on its head and putting power, perspective and personality front and centre.

In this candid masterclass, the co-founders behind the show unpack how The Assembly will discuss pitching the format that breaks the rules of access and control, to building trust with contributors and talent, they’ll explore the creative risks, production challenges and editorial responsibility behind the series.

Balancing humour with humanity, the session will dive into how the show maintains its warmth and authenticity while tackling big personalities and sensitive moments
