MIPTV is hosting Esports BAR, with each event having separate entrances and self-contained programmes, with content tracks within ESports BAR that will appeal to MIP delegates.

This is our first physical MIPTV in two years. We need to do more than bring everyone back together; we want to help the international TV industry chart a course for the future.”
