There is no better way to land pitch meetings without an agent and build important industry contacts than to attend the major TV buying and selling conferences around the world, such as NATPE, MIP, MIPCOM, Kidscreen, Banff and others.
These conferences can be intimidating...and expensive.
You want to make the most of your time and money.
Our tours will guide you through every step of the process and we'll make it easy.
Land pitch meetings without an agent...forever!
Once you've made a good first impression at a major industry conference, pitch meetings are easy to land. Just by being at these conferences, executives will think of you as a player. They will actually take your phone calls to set up future meetings at their offices.

Refunds: Each conference has their own cancelation rules, which we must follow, and we will build in a time buffer to allow us to help you attain your refund. Our portion of the fees may be refunded minus a $150 service charge for facilitating your conference registrations/refunds.
Since we will be purchasing your NATPE membership and conference package for you, we have to abide by NATPE's rules for refunds. Requests for cancelation refunds must be made by December 12 to allow us time to meet their deadlines. If you decide to cancel after this date, we will not be able to refund your NATPE membership and conference fees from your tour costs.
Kidscreen has their own $150 cancellation fee. We would need your cancellation by January 1, 2008 to make their deadline.
