MIPTV Releases Attendance Figures

CANNES: MIPTV wraps in Cannes today with an overall participation of 11,000 executives from more than 100 countries, Reed MIDEM said this morning, including 4,000 buyers.

The attendees included more than 1,220 production companies, of which 326 were first-time attendees. The number of producers attending MIPTV was up by 25 percent, Laurine Garaude, the director of the television division at Reed MIDEM, said this morning at a press conference.

"It was a very productive MIPTV," Garaude said. "We saw a flurry of deals of all sorts…. Deals are coming through that are totally cross border. That has been accelerating over the last few years. We see this international fabric that begins at the concept of a deal through to distribution on all platforms."
