Why Host an Event During MIPCOM in Cannes?
🎯 Connect with key decision-makers in global media
MIPCOM gathers broadcasters, distributors, studios, agents and streamers from around the world. A side event puts your brand directly in front of the right people.

Outside of exhibition booths and official meetings, an off-site event allows you to engage deeper in a relaxed professional context.
🚀 Promote your project or showcase your content
Use your event to screen a teaser, present a new series or pitch a concept. It’s a great way to drive interest and media buzz.
🧠 Strengthen your reputation in the audiovisual industry
An expertly-run side event helps position your company as an active and serious player in the international content scene.
