Left Bank Pictures founder Andy Harries is among confirmed presenters at first World Screen Tourism Summit in Birmingham later this year

The World Screen Tourism Summit is coming to Birmingham's ICC in November

Speakers have been announced for the first ever World Screen Tourism Summit which is coming to Birmingham in November.

The conference will highlight and discuss the growing phenomenon of tourists visiting locations they have seen on films and TV, known as 'set jetting'.

Called SET-JET Summit, the two-day event will feature a keynote session from the British Film Commission's chief executive Adrian Wootton.

Joining him will be Andy Harries who is the co-founder and chief executive of Left Bank Pictures which made the hit Netflix drama series The Crown.

Other confirmed speakers include Visit Svalbard's chief executive Ronny Brunvoll.

Svalbard is one of the world's northernmost occupied territories administered by Norway and has featured in this year's Tom Cruise film Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and as Superman's Fortress of Solitude in the recently released movie.

Mr Brunvoll will share his experiences of making this happen.
