Registration Opens for DISCOP Africa

PARIS/LOS ANGELES, May 7:
Registration is now open for DISCOP Africa, a new
niche content market that is set to take place at the Sofitel Teranga Hotel in
Dakar, Senegal, from February 25 to 27, 2009.

The creators of the
Eastern- and Central European-targeted DISCOP market announced the launch of
DISCOP Africa in March. The three-day event is intended to combine a
high-profile conference focusing on the investment opportunities in African
television stations and a dedicated market for buyers and sellers with
screenings. Three hundred participants are expected
to attend DISCOP Africa 09, representing African TV stations; suppliers of
film, finished programs, scripted and unscripted formats and packaged TV
channels from all over the world; African producers of television content; and
advertisers and advertising agencies ready to sponsor programming acquisitions
and to get involved in barter deals.
