About 20 projects are shown within the frames of the Central Pitching, which is attended every year by about 25 commissioning editors from the leading broadcasters from around the world and about 300 observers. About 25 projects participate in the more private Round Table Pitches, where they are presented to a small group of commissioning editors who showed interest in specific titles.
