The fast food industry of television, the driving engine
of primetime entertainment, a ratings powerhouse, the best way to transform
a homegrown show into an international money spinner - the format business
is here to stay. Or is it? Recent research found that the global trade in
format rights is now worth more than € 2.4 billion a year and the
demand is still growing. Sure, that’s big business - but one that
requires investment in innovation. Do we have the laws to protect this
investment in innovation? Whose format is it anyway? Why not produce
copycat television without paying license fees? In the international
television format industry it may be the worst of times and the best of
times.
Our training is provided by legal experts and key
players from within the industry who will provide participants with a
valuable insight into the workings and commercial logic of the
international television format trade. Listen in as industry insiders will
explore ways to make ideas become reality and to capitalize on the future.
This workshop will throw new light on your business and inform your future
business decisions.
