Throughout the week, Real Screen Summit and NATPE Global focused the agenda on conferences and talks focused on bringing clarity to the future of media: what to expect in 2030. That insight revealed the events’ signature formats, from Realscreen’s 30 Minutes With Programmers series to NATPE’s Streaming+. Both events featured a packed agenda with topics led by important speakers, networking events, awards and the NATPE Global Pitch Showcase, an international event of live presentations. The objective of the program is to help the development of television projects in the field of scripted programming.
A total of five (5) projects were selected with winners who presented their projects live on stage directly to executives of networks and studios and to an audience composed of executives of television and streaming platforms on a global scale.
The event promises to return in 2026 while preparing the market of the CEE and EMEA region, NATPE BUDAPEST in Hungary from June 23 to 26.
