Why preparation decides your success at MIPCOM Cannes
Exhibiting at MIPCOM Cannes is a big investment, and in a market built on pitching, licensing and content sales, it’s your team’s conversations that decide what you leave with. Trained, confident staff turn a busy stand and a full meeting schedule into signed business.
Preparation is what separates a memorable pitch from a missed one.
About MIPCOM Cannes
MIPCOM Cannes is the world’s largest market for television, streaming and entertainment content, held each October at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes — the 2027 edition runs 18–21 October. Run by RX since 1985, it gathers around 13,000 delegates from more than 100 countries – global streamers, broadcasters, producers, distributors and buyers – for four days of previews, pitching, licensing and deal-making.
Exhibitors and buyers travel in from every major content market in the world, making it the most concentrated few days of the year for the industry. With so much content competing for the same buyers, the teams that pitch and qualify well are the ones that close.
