MIPCOM Cannes

MIPCOM is one of the most important trade events in the global entertainment industry. Every year, the renowned Palais des Festivals in Cannes transforms into an international hub for decision-makers from television, streaming, digital media, and audiovisual production. Organized by Reed Exhibitions Limited, MIPCOM brings together producers, broadcasters, platform operators, content buyers, brand leaders, and tech companies from around the world — all with a shared goal: to exchange innovations, discover new content, and foster future-oriented partnerships.

At the heart of the event lies the Creator Economy — the dynamic interplay between digital creators, brands, platforms, traditional media houses, and production companies. MIPCOM is more than a marketplace for TV and streaming formats; it positions itself as a bridge between the established media landscape and emerging digital content structures. Key topics include alternative financing models, new monetization strategies, rights management, and collaborative business approaches — all reflecting the rapid evolution of the industry.

MIPCOM also serves as a driving force for innovation. At the MIP Innovation Lab, cutting-edge technologies — from artificial intelligence and FAST channels to connected TV — are showcased through hands-on experiences. The MIP Creative Hub provides a space for creative development, content ideation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. In the Brand Storytelling section, brands increasingly define their roles as content investors and producers — particularly through the growing model of brand-funded content. The program is further enriched by exclusive screenings, international series premieres, and a global marketplace for format rights.

A strong focus is placed on diversity and inclusion. Mentorship programs, awards for socially relevant content, and panel discussions on equality and representation highlight MIPCOM’s commitment to a more inclusive media landscape. Targeted networking and matchmaking are among the event’s key strengths: curated meetings, industry-specific gatherings, and strategic partner connections help turn ideas into tangible projects.

MIPCOM is tailored to professionals across television, streaming, film production, media distribution, technology, brand management, and the digital economy. With participants from over 100 countries, the event not only reflects its international relevance but also its continued success. As part of the broader MIP portfolio — which includes MIP London, MIP Junior, MIP Cancun, and MIP Africa — MIPCOM stands as the flagship autumn event in the global media calendar.

Cannes, renowned for its cinematic heritage and prestigious festivals, offers MIPCOM an exceptional setting. Located directly on the iconic Croisette, the Palais des Festivals is easily accessible via Nice Airport, train, or car. Its state-of-the-art infrastructure, combined with the unique atmosphere of the Côte d’Azur, makes MIPCOM both a professional and cultural experience — where creative visions meet global business.

The MIPCOM in Cannes took place from Monday, 13. October to Thursday, 16. October 2025.
