Prior to MIPCOM, a spin-off event known as '''MIPJunior''' is held, which is devoted exclusively to the children's television industry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/connect-with-audiences/market-profiles/mipcom|title=Market Profiles - MIPCOM|work=Screen Australia|access-date=20 December 2016}}</ref>
MIPCOM also has a sister event, MIPTV Media Market, which is a similar format also in Cannes by the same organizers, in the opposite half of the year (usually April). MIPCOM is slightly better attended than MIPTV.<ref name="TBI"/>
In 2020 the event moved online due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref>{{cite web|last=Goldbart|first=Max|date=2020-09-10|title=Mipcom moves 2020 event fully online due to travel restrictions|url=https://www.screendaily.com/news/mipcom-moves-2020-event-fully-online-due-to-travel-restrictions/5153046.article|access-date=2020-10-14|website=Screen}}</ref>
