PROGRAM

Discover and explore the opportunities IPs represent in the audiovisual market. An intensive, 3-day, 100% online bootcamp for international series producers, development teams, and business affairs managers.

Between 2021 and 2023, among series orders, adaptations of existing intellectual properties accounted for 20% for streamers, 15% for private channels, and 11% for public broadcasters (source: European Audiovisual Observatory).

Their main sources: novels, manga, video games, podcasts, film reboots, cultural or tourist landmarks, public figures – even miscellaneous news items.

Adaptations and IPs have become essential keys to attracting broadcasters into the world of your series.
But how do you source them? How do you build a compelling series bible from an IP? Or transform an original concept into a strong IP? How can you maximize its creative potential across one or even several media?
And finally, what strategy should you adopt to ensure the best possible return on your IP – while anticipating potential transactional sticking points?

Join top IP developers, negotiators, lawyers, and scouts on January 19–21, 2026, to take your projects and  expertise to the next level!
