Attending MIPCOM without preparation can lead to missed opportunities, wasted time, and costly missteps. Many first-time filmmakers arrive without a clear plan, unaware of how to schedule meetings in advance or approach industry professionals effectively. Others overspend on unnecessary services or fall for accommodation scams due to unfamiliarity with the event’s logistics. Some simply feel lost in the fast-paced environment and fail to make meaningful connections.
This webinar helps students avoid those pitfalls by providing step-by-step guidance on registration, travel, and navigating the market with confidence. Understanding how MIPCOM works—and how to make the most of it, is critical for filmmakers seeking global distribution, co-production deals, or strategic partnerships. With the right tools and strategy, even a first-time attendee can turn MIPCOM into a game-changing opportunity. Students who master this topic will gain an edge in building international relationships and advancing their careers in the competitive world of film and television.

Hi Film Professionals, For those of you planning on going to Cannes in October for MIPCOM, or if you are just curious about how the market works, I will be teaching a Stage 32 webinar this Tuesday, September 9th at 1pm pdt. I will cover from how to prep and pack, to booking meetings, navigating the Palais, and making sure your pitch stands out to buyers, broadcasters, and streamers.
I will also provide templates and checklists to make the whole process easier (and less overwhelming). If you can’t make it live, the recorded version will be available.

HI Michelle, John's right. You really did drop us into MIP! At least what a newcomer might imagine. Would you say that other venues you attend (say AFM) would you advise the same tips? Thanks so much!
