It will replace TVI Ficção, a thematic cable TV channel that airs soap operas, sitcoms and series. A request for a licence has already been submitted to the Regulatory Entity for Social Communication.
The thematic axes for the edition taking place from June 18 to 21 in Spain will be Entertainment Marketing, Transmedia IP, Business Models and Financing, and New Forms of Digital Creation.
Allowing Thema America to represent and distribute the channels in SPI International's content portfolio throughout the region, this agreement forms part of Canal+'s global expansion plans and comes as a result of the purchase and definitive acquisition of SPI International last year.
