Organisers of DISCOP Johannesburg announced a 15 per cent year-to-year increase in the number of pre-registered delegates at its upcoming event, which takes place from 2 to 4 November 2016.
More than 2 000 buyers, sellers and producers of film and television content are expected to descend on Johannesburg for meetings, screenings, talks, workshops, pitching competitions and other engagements that will drive millions of dollars worth of deals across Sub-Saharan Africa. The event’s expanded floor plan is set to also welcome close to 250+ global and regional sellers of feature films, television content, adaptation rights and packaged channels.
“Over 10 000 hours of prime programming at affordable prices will be offered across a floor plan that is now 100 per cent sold out,’ confirmed Patrick Zuchowicki, founder of the DISCOP markets, adding, “DISCOP Johannesburg is praised for the diverse, high-quality programming showcased, all suited to Africa’s multicultural audiences who are fast embracing digital entertainment, binge watching and social media, and we’re expecting this to be another hugely successful edition for all participants.’
The 2017 edition of DISCOP will honour the USA as its Guest Country and is expected to welcome 500+ acquisition, programming and commissioning executives representing Sub-Saharan Africa’s key broadcasters and content distribution platforms.
