I’ve spent some time traveling around Europe the past couple of weeks, attending first the bustling MIPJunior and MIPCOM on the Croisette in Cannes, then swiftly flying over to Madrid to speak at Fundacion Telefonica’s event Transmedia Living Lab.

MIPTV, MIPFormats and MIP Digital – a reflection

Things seemed a bit quieter this time around.
