Find a space in Cannes for your MIPCOM event

The MIPCOM (Marché International des Programmes de Communication or International Market of Communications Programmes) is a key event in the international entertainment industry, attended by decision makers from the world of film and television. The 4-day event held at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès every October attracts 9,500 delegates from over 100 countries, as well as 450 international exhibitors.

MIPCOM is one of the biggest international TV content marketplaces, but it’s also an important social event attended by international artists, professionals and film personalities. It has become a place where people from across the world and across different industries have come together to imagine what television might look like in a year’s time, or five years’ time, making contacts and networks that they will need in order to convert their ideas into lucrative new businesses.
