DICM has witnessed an overwhelming response from the industry with over 200 buyers from 25+ countries confirmed to attend, showing a testament to the event's importance as a marketplace for fresh, innovative, and globally appealing content.
This year, DICM will introduce 'Producers Connect,' a platform dedicated to fostering co-production opportunities between content producers, streaming platforms, investors and financiers. With over 20 companies already registered, participants will explore collaborative opportunities and create content that transcends cultural boundaries. Another new initiative this year includes ‘DICM Talks,’ which will feature a panel discussion agenda of more than 30 industry leaders and key players sharing their insights on emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in the ever-evolving content landscape. It's a space where knowledge exchange, innovation, and creativity take center stage.
