Independent content is serious business

Media is changing, and Content Entrepreneurs are at the heart of the revolution. Independent creators are turning their creative content into their business. In response, traditional media buyers, sponsors, streaming services and others are hoping to discover and work with the next great, emergent voices in content creation.

ContEnt Marketplace is the only conference focused on bringing together talented independent creators of podcasts, vidcasts, short films, online series, and other original content with established media buyers, sponsors, and fellow content entrepreneurs. This is the future of media and entertainment, and ContEnt is where it happens.

Our mission: Inform, Connect, Elevate

INFORM

INFORM

Targeted Programming

The two-day event covers critical topics for creators, buyers, and sponsors, ranging from emerging business models, to production and distribution innovations, to data-driven strategies for user acquisition and retention. Industry leaders share their experiences on panels and keynotes, networking events, and our ContEnt Awards ceremony, which will highlight various exciting creators from the region.

CONNECT

Curated content matches

Conference organizers reach out to every buyer and sponsor who will attend the event to understand their core needs. This information is used to generate a list of content producers who may be of particular interest to the buyer. Additionally, producers are encouraged to submit their projects in advance of the event to compete for awards and endorsements, which both allow their content to be more visible, and signal to buyers that these projects are of high quality.

ELEVATE

Support for promising new voices

Promising new creators exist in every corner of the globe, but they often need mentorship to meet the expectations of international buyers and sponsors. ContEnt has developed a series of classes to help creators define their business opportunities, refine their content and brand, and help prepare them to best showcase their projects at the summit.
