MIPCOM ( Marché International des Programmes de Communication, English: International Market of Communications Programmes), is an annual trade show held in the French town of Cannes, traditionally in the month of October. It is owned and organized by Reed MIDEM, a subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions.
The event is geared towards the television industry: it is primarily attended by representatives of television studios and broadcasters, who use the event as a marketplace to buy and sell new programmes and formats for international distribution. The event also features keynote presentations and panels featuring representatives of the industry discussing new trends and developments.
Prior to MIPCOM, a spin-off event known as MIPJunior is held, which is devoted exclusively to the children's television industry.
Shonda Lynn Rhimes (born January 13, 1970) is a television producer and writer. Rhimes is the creator, head writer, executive producer and showrunner of the medical drama television series Grey's Anatomy, its spin-off Private Practice and the political thriller series Scandal.
In May 2007, Rhimes was named one of Time magazine's 100 People Who Help Shape The World. Rhimes was an executive producer for the medical drama series Off the Map which aired on ABC for one season in 2011. Rhimes is executive producer of ABC's legal series How to Get Away with Murder, which debuted September 25, 2014.
Rhimes was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Vera P. (Cain), a university administrator, and Ilee Rhimes, Jr., a college professor. Her mother attended college while raising six children and earned a PhD in educational administration in 1991; her father, who holds an MBA, is currently the chief information officer at the University of Southern California.
Rhimes lived in Park Forest South (now University Park, Illinois), with two older brothers and three older sisters. She has said she exhibited an early affinity for storytelling and that her time spent as a hospital volunteer while in high school sparked an interest in hospital environments.
