“This has been an energising and era-defining edition of MIP Cancun….” said MIP Cancun director Maria Perez-Bellière. “…one laser focused on making opportunities happen between mainstream and content economies and powered by the energy that the amazing community brings every year that makes this market unique.”
Next year’s edition of the market is scheduled for November 17-20, 2026.
