Lucy Smith, RX France Entertainment Division Director said: ‘2022 is undoubtedly the comeback year for MIPCOM CANNES. A healthy set of confirmations four months out from the market, with more being added daily, demonstrates the huge appetite for the return of a full-strength MIPCOM. And, unhampered by last year’s travel restrictions, to meet the increased demand we have a supersized edition planned for this October in Cannes. More to come over the coming months. Watch this space!’
