Los Angeles – Media marketplace organiser NATPE has announced that more than 250 companies from 50 countries are confirmed to attend the inaugural NATPE||Budapest content market, formerly known as DISCOP East, taking place June 26 to 28.

Close to 250 buyers representing 150 companies are already signed to attend the three day market at Budapest’s Sofitel Chain Bridge Hotel and organisers expect this to increase to more than 300 registered buyers by the event opening. 

NATPE||Budapest will also welcome more than 100 sellers representing major Hollywood studios including Warner Bros., NBCUniversal, CBS Studios International, Lionsgate and MGM Worldwide Television Group, alongside key international distributors such as A&E Networks, Caracol Television, FremantleMedia, Globo TV, ITV Studios, Televisa and Venevision.

Following its acquisition in 2011, NATPE||Budapest runs as a companion to NATPE’s Miami-based international content market, which takes place in January. NATPE is working with locally-based representatives throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East to raise the profile of both events in the global marketplace.
