Marketplace
AIDC 2010 provides a range of opportunities and facilities for its delegates including:
MeetMarket, Trailer Park, Videotheque, Editor's Hour, Trailer Park Pitch Session, Discovery Ignite Pitch Session
MeetMarket
Presented in Association with Screen Australia
MeetMarket is designed to match selected documentary makers’ most innovative project ideas with over 50 national and international executive producers, broadcasters and distributors attending AIDC 2010.
MeetMarket provides the opportunity for creative and original ideas to be fast-tracked within a supportive and structured setting. Projects entered may be at any stage of development, production or post-production.
Executive producers, broadcasters and distributors view online two-minute pitch teasers of up to 25 selected documentary projects in advance of attending AIDC. After viewing, these executives choose which projects they wish to discuss further in one-on-one meetings with the documentary producers scheduled during the AIDC within a specially designated room at the conference.
MeetMarket submissions have now closed.

The Editors’ Hour
The Editors’ Hour comprises a series of small scale sessions where broadcasting commissioning editors and funding representatives from various regions and networks offer useful insight into their programming slots and content requirements. During these sessions delegates can learn about the criteria the various representatives apply when selecting projects to invest in or to acquire. Delegates are also given the opportunity to ask specific questions.

Trailer Park Pitch Session
Missed the MeetMarket deadline?...
Pitch Master Pat Ferns will host the new Trailer Park Pitch Sessions during AIDC 2010.
As the ‘Father of the Public Pitch’, Pat pioneered this financing and marketing tool 25 years ago at the BANFF Television Festival. Since then, Pat has improved the format over the years and exported the public pitch to many other market events around the world.
