Los Angeles and Johannesburg-based trade event organiser, Basic Lead, has announced the launch of the new Meet Your Stars promotional programme which is set to be a dynamic new addition to the 11th edition of DISCOP Africa which takes place from 4 to 6 November in Johannesburg.

In today s multi-screen world it is vital for brand new shows to have a strong, immersive launch from the very start. Generating an even more tangible buzz for programs and the talent both on screen and behind them during DISCOP Africa will now be a significant part of our mission, says Patrick Zuchowicki, general manager of Basic Lead, who adds, The Meet Your Stars promotional programme will be an efficient opportunity to draw attention to and raise the level of interest for these upcoming TV shows, as well as primetime favourites, amongst strategic industry influencers in Africa s television and advertising ecosystems.

Each TV show will be allocated a 90-minute presentation slot to be programmed across three hemicyclic theatres equipped with a multimedia stage set-up to let influencers engage and interact live with actors, producers, directors and writers of these series and learn more about each of them.

1,500-plus delegates from 90-plus countries are expected to attend DISCOP Africa representing key broadcasters, pay-tv platforms, mobile networks, online operators, producers, distributors, advertisers, influencers and investors driving multi-platform television business across Africa.
