MIPTV - Calling all producers

Only MIP markets offer you the opportunity to meet, face-to-face and in one place, key development executives, commissioners and advisors from: Major Studios, Broadcasters and Content Producers, Television and Film Distributors, Film Commissions, Advertising and Brand Agencies, Private and Public Financial Institutions. Our all-new Producers' Forum will focus 100% on exposing winning formats as well as driving new international co-production opportunities, transmedia business development and creative collaboration between producers and commissioners worldwide.

This all new initiative will identify fresh international co-production opportunities and facilitate production development. Take part in interactive presentations and co-production workshops focusing on Brazil, Canada, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. These will be followed by one-on-one networking opportunities.

Connect with Canada is the key message the Canadian Pavilion is sending to participants attending the Producers' Forum. As an official partner of the conference and event programme, the "Connect with Canada" matchmaking breakfast on Tuesday 13 April invites producers and commissioners onto the exhibit floor to network and explore co-production opportunities with Canadian companies. Register by March 24.
