Independent Producers' Exchange - IPXchange
International unscripted TV executives to gather in Cologne, Germany on September 18th & 19th.
We are excited to be joining the global TV community at the second annual IPXchange as we share TV Asahi’s latest unscripted formats with attendees. At this two-day event held at MMC Studios in Cologne, format distributors from the UK, USA, Ukraine, Asia, and Turkey will meet TV producers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The aim of the event is to create a platform for knowledge exchange, international deals, and cooperation, especially for small and medium-sized production companies in the TV industry. IPXCHANGE also gives independent producers the chance to view and buy new formats before MIPCOM (Oct. 16-19).
The event is organized by TV producer Wolfgang Link and TV marketing expert Sandra Lehner. "As participants in the global market, small and medium-sized companies in particular need to pool their strengths and interests and find intersections for cooperation. We want to create a basis for this - out of a passion for TV.”
In addition to the presentation of unscripted TV formats (including gameshows, documentaries, factual, reality, and comedy), there will again be contributions from industry experts, including:
Danny Fenton from the renowned and award-winning UK indie Zig Zag Productions will present his experiences on successful format development in his talk "The Science of Formats".
Justin Scroggie, the British format doctor and consultant, who has (co-)developed and supervised Chef in Your Ear, Sing my Song, and Doctors vs. Internet, among others, will report in an interview on his worldwide work - also with German productions - and reveal how it is possible to launch marketable format titles from Germany as well.
