“The increase in people coming to London means increased business in what has become a must-attend content week in February,” said Lucy Smith, Exhibition Director of MIP London and Mipcom Cannes. “Whether you’re a company already hosting a showcase event, planning to visit for the first time or simply there to see more people, our aim with this new MIP Marketplace is to complement existing events by providing additional opportunities to meet, view or discover content throughout the week. Plans for our city centre hub and programme are already taking shape and we’re very encouraged by the early momentum of MIP London.”
