About DISCOP EAST Market

Established in 1991, the annual DISCOP EAST market brings together SELLERS and BUYERS of finished programs, scripted and unscripted formats, and packaged TV channels.

DISCOP EAST takes place for 3 days in Budapest during the 3rd week of the month of June, on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, at the recently renovated 5-Star SOFITEL ATRIUM HOTEL located in the heart of the city, on the banks of the Danube river.

The market is built around the pre-organization of meetings between participants regrouped into two main categories:

THE SELLERS: International sales organisations offering finished programs, feature films, scripted and unscripted formats, packaged TV channels and mobile content attend DISCOP EAST with or without exhibits. Exhibits are set-up in hotel rooms and hospitality suites refurbished as private screening suites and in open communal areas partitioned into individual meeting spaces equipped with screening facilities. All programming genres are represented.

THE BUYERS: Qualified programming, acquisition, production and distribution executives from Central & Eastern Europea and Central Asia representing TV Stations, thematic channels, cable, satellite and telco operators, DVD and theatrical distributors, production companies, territorial agents, web portals and closed-circuit TV networks.

Thanks to the efficiency of our online “meetings-organization” platform and the expertise of our highly-trained staff, most participants average 40 to 50 meetings over the 3-day DISCOP EAST.

The combination of these services have helped our participants make better use of their market time as many of them rely on our ability to identify new BUYING or SELLING opportunities on their behalf.

Furthermore, as the growth of DISCOP EAST is fuelled by the presence of “newcomers” - and by the fact that 99% of these newcomers return the following year! - participants who have never attended DISCOP EAST in the past are provided with personalized assistance in the various processes leading to the organization of these 40 to 50 meetings.

DISCOP EAST 09 will take place from Wednesday 17 to Friday 19 June 2009
