perfect balance of business and pleasure’

Leading LatAm TV market MIPCANCUN turns 10 years old this year, it promises to have expanded from its over 800 participants from 45 countries in 2022, when it opens its doors on November 14 this year

WHETHER you are involved in producing, distributing, financing or buying TV content for Latin America and US Hispanic audiences, MIPCANCUN is a TV Market designed to put you face-to-face with people, content and ideas tailored to your business.

The MIPCANCUN Content Market offers one-to-one pre-scheduled meetings between international content distributors and TV content buyers from the LatAm and US Hispanic markets; while the MIPCANCUN Co-Production Forum offers one-to-one pre-scheduled meetings that match producers across Latin America with top commissioners from the region as well as talent agencies, heads of development, financing companies and writers. Up to 25 guaranteed meetings will be included in delegates personalised agendas, alongside the many other networking events on offer during the four-day event in Mexico. And while this one-on-one format is exclusive to MIPCANCUN, what also sets it apart is the location.

“Mexico is what truly makes MIPCANCUN unique. We are the only international content market in Latin America,” MIPCANCUN director Maria Perez-Belliere said.

“Mexico is not only the largest TV production market in Latin America, but it’s also the bridge between all of the Spanish and Portuguese TV producing countries from the South and the US Hispanic TV market to the North.” She added: “Cancun is an ideal location for a MIP market. It allows us to provide the full MIP market experience that is synonymous with our shows in Cannes. It allows us to bring people in from around the world and to create this community combined with a productive and enjoyable business experience, a unique MIP promise.” The one-on-one matchmaking format is at the heart of MIPCANCUN. Buyers and sellers receive an agenda of pre-scheduled meetings based on mutual preferences. Participants also have the opportunity to add more meetings to their calendars through the show’s networking platform as well as benefiting from numerous gatherings and parties “creating the perfect balance of business and pleasure”, Perez-Belliere said. “Everything that happens at MIPCANCUN is highly curated. Last year around 150 distribution companies and 180 buyers were part of the one-to-one programme.”

Highlights for MIPCANCUN

2023 include: the launch of FAST & GLOBAL Summit For The Americas; The MIPFORMATS Pitch; a series of events under the brand Women In LatAm; the seventh edition of The PRODU Awards; and The MIPCANCUN Fiestas. “And there’s much more,” Perez-Belliere said. “There’s no way anyone should miss out on this years’ edition.”
