We’re thrilled to welcome two of the leading creative forces behind one of the most prolific format powerhouses in the world: Maarten Meijs and Jasper Hoogendoorn from Talpa Studios.

As CEO of Talpa Studios, Maarten Meijs has helped shape a global success story – building an IP-driven studio that continues to thrive in a rapidly changing market. His strategic vision has positioned Talpa as a frontrunner in scalable, genre-pushing formats that travel the world.

Joining him on stage is Jasper Hoogendoorn, Talpa Studios’ recently appointed Chief Creating Officer and one of the creative minds behind The Traitors, the psychological reality hit that became a global sensation. Known for his sharp creative instinct and innovative development style, Jasper brings a fresh edge to format thinking at scale.

Together, they’ll explore how Talpa Studios continues to grow – even in a challenged market – by putting creative development at the forefront. From bold originals to partnerships with industry competitors (Talpa Creative Partnerships), they’ll share how they launch concepts that shape the future of unscripted entertainment.

Expect insights, ambition, and a look under the hood of a company that doesn’t just chase global hits – but creates them.
