TV producers meet for 3rd IPXCHANGE
New formats and international guests on March 11th / 12th in MMC studios: TV producers meet for 3rd IPXCHANGE Cologne. How can German TV producers achieve more success in the international format market? This is one of the questions that will be addressed at the “Independent Producers’ Exchange” in Cologne, a TV industry event for format trading, networking, knowledge transfer and international cooperation. TV producers, format distributors, broadcaster representatives and other industry experts will gather for the third time on 11th and 12th March 2024 in the MMC studios in Cologne for the international “Independent Producers’ Exchange” (IPXchange). 

The IPXCHANGE gives producers the chance to find out about industry trends, and to view and buy new TV formats in advance of MIPTV (April 2024). 

The event is organized by TV producer Wolfgang Link and TV marketing expert Sandra Lehner. This time, for the first time, there are also participants from Belgium, Spain and Australia. Also represented again: UK, USA, Netherlands, Ukraine, Asia and Turkey. 

Programme: 
• André Schubert, CEO of CaliVision Network, who wants to transfer the mega YouTube success “7 vs. Wild” to TV. 
• David Ciaramella - after many years at “K7 Media”, David reports on global TV & video trends at IPXchange and sheds light on the market function of German producers. 
• Dries Verhaeghe from 'Barking Billie' reveals how export hits are created in Belgium through cooperation between TV stations and producers. 
• Claire Prince reveals how, as a factual producer, she came to produce successful content with relevance and quality for global brands such as Nike, Adidas, Audi and TUI 
• Mafhieu Porte from CAN’T STOP MEDIA presents new formats and talks about the international success of the “A-Talks”, in which people with autism are the focus. 
• Michael Schmidt, one of the most famous international TV personalities with German roots, presents one of his latest successful ventures. 
• Daniel Boltjes (WDR) provides insights into the station's current programming needs and the ongoing structural reforms. 
• Stefan Bayerl (ZDF) gives a lecture on ZDF's factual and daily programs. 

Additionally, Tim Crescenti (SMALLWORLD), Rosemond Perdue (BreakthroughnowMedia), Lindsey Ayofe (LGI Media), Tuyet Nguyen (RTBF Belgien)Tanja van der Goes (AllRightMedia), Andrew Sime (Newen Connect), Danny Fenton (ZigZag) and Ed Louwerse/Julian Curtis (Lineup) introduce and offer promising and successful formats for the German TV market (documentary, factual, reality, game, show, comedy). 

New on the agenda: a panel session by Tony Gregory, international director, developer and production strategist. He will explore with international guests why Germany ranks low on the table when it comes to TV format exporting countries. How can potential for greater international success be identified and realised. 

Organisers Sandra Lehner and Wolfgang Link explain, “Our unique concept of meaningful international networking outside of the usual global corporate networks is highly valued, and makes a posi2ve difference to independent production companies.” IPXCHANGE is supported by MMC Studios Köln GmbH as well as runge.tv and HERZBERG MEDIA.
