MIPCOM 2020 goes completely digital with MIPCOM ONLINE+
KOLKATA: MIPCOM 2020 announces that the thirty-sixth annual international television content market will now take place entirely online as MIPCOM ONLINE+. The physical gathering, previously scheduled to take place as MIPCOM RENDEZVOUS CANNES, is cancelled due to the continued impact of Covid2019.
MIPCOM ONLINE+ will be centered around the digital MIPCOM Week that occurs from October 12 to October 16 and will include extended features before and after the main event.
MIPCOM Warm Up begins on 5 October and offers early access for participating delegates and exhibitors to make the most out of the MIPCOM digital marketplace by accessing Market Intelligence sessions, content and finance briefings and the MIPJunior Screenings platform, as well as the use of the MIPCOM Digital Hub to plan meetings for the MIPCOM Week.
MIPCOM Week will be open from October 12 to October 16 as a global online interactive business market including a fully digital “Main Stage Cannes” conference and screenings programme involving global upfronts, keynotes, market screenings, MIPCOM Diversify TV Excellence Awards and much more. In addition, the Virtual Exhibit Hub and the enhanced database will allow users to set up highly targeted, video business meetings between distributors, producers, buyers and all international delegates.
MIPCOM Follow Up+ runs from 17 October to 17 November and will offer replays of screenings, keynotes and conference sessions, from MIPCOM and MIPJunior. Delegates and exhibitors can continue to conduct business through the MIPCOM Online+ interactive database tools and Virtual Exhibit Hub as well as using the MIPJunior digital library.
“Our motivation has always been to bring together the global entertainment community around the flagship week of MIPCOM in order to support content discovery and new business deals, whether online or in-person,” Reed MIDEM’s Television Division director Laurine Garaude explains.
“We made clear when we announced MIPCOM RENDEZVOUS Cannes that we would only hold the physical market if conditions permitted. Due to the ongoing uncertainty around COVID-19 and recently increased travel restrictions, we believe that MIPCOM ONLINE+ is the most effective way to move forward and to gather the global television community around MIPCOM Week,” Garaude adds.
The third season of CANNESERIES, the International TV Series Festival, will take place in Cannes from October 9-14 and virtually on its new platform CANNESERIES LIVE from October 7-21.
