The event aims to explore these shifts for creatives, broadcasters, and producers.
Key industry players, including major broadcasters and streamers, will convene in Cologne. Commissioners from numerous European public broadcasters like ZDF, ORF, and SVT have confirmed their attendance. ZDF Studios is returning as the main partner.
Specific sessions will include "Meet the Commissioners" and pitching opportunities.

Prior to the conference, on June 8, an event called Story Vision Europe, organized by regional funders and producer groups, will be available to Seriencamp badge holders.
