REED MIDEM LAUNCHES MIP CANCUN LATAM TV BUYERS SUMMIT
JW Marriott Cancun, 19-21 November 2014
Paris, 28 August 2014 – Reed MIDEM, organizer of MIPTV/MIPCOM, today announces the launch of MIP Cancun, the first-ever regional Latam TV Buyers Summit to take place at the JW Marriott Cancun Hotel, 19-21 November 2014 in Cancun, Mexico. MIP Cancun will welcome acquisition executives representing up to 40 channels from 15 different countries in Latin America, as well as up to 40 distributors of international programming.
As a one2one buyers summit, MIP Cancun offers an intimate environment for buyers and content producers/distributors to develop new relations, network, and strike new programming and co-production deals for the dynamic Latam TV market.
Over two and a half days, MIP Cancun will provide unique access to 40 regional Latam buyers from leading channels, some of which do not regularly attend international content markets. The summit will focus on scripted and unscripted programming, including Fiction, Formats, Factual and Kids entertainment.
Buyers and sellers will be matched in advance, according to various selection criteria and receive a set agenda of pre-scheduled meetings. Space is limited and distributors may apply at www.mipcancun.com.
The location of the summit at the JW Marriott Hotel along Cancun’s spectacular sea-facing “zona hotelera” on Mexico’s world-renowned Yucatan Peninsula, offers participants a premium environment for targeted business meetings and invaluable strategic discussions.
“There is increasing interest in the Latin American television market and Reed MIDEM is committed to servicing the needs of international companies looking to do business with their Latin American counterparts,” notes Laurine Garaude, Director of Reed MIDEM’s Television Division. “MIP Cancun underlines that commitment to Latin America, in a year when we, in partnership with ProMéxico, are also putting Mexico in the spotlight as MIPCOM’s Country of Honour.”
