About This Show

AI-drafted summary

MIP CANCUN is a business-to-business content and co-production market for the television, streaming and entertainment industries, with a sharp focus on Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market. Held each November at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancún, it brings together producers, broadcasters, distributors, brands and platform operators from around the world. Over four days, the market is built around one priority: connecting attendees with the right people to do business.

The event is best known for its meetings-first format. MIP CANCUN offers an all-inclusive experience of 1-to-1 pre-scheduled meetings that connect content distributors with TV content buyers from Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic markets, so delegates arrive with a schedule of 17 to 25 guaranteed, personalized meetings.

Attendees include buyers, commissioners, co-producers, creators, platforms, brands and agencies. The market convenes this wider content ecosystem, from digital-first platforms and creators to brands and new business partners, through pre-arranged meetings designed to maximise every opportunity. For anyone selling or sourcing Ibero-American and Hispanic content, it is one of the region's most efficient dealmaking platforms.
