Reed MIDEM confirms that MIP Cancun will take place as a physical event in 2021. The 8th edition of the signature one-to-one matchmaking market will take place at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun from 16-19 November, welcoming international and Latin American distributors, programme buyers, producers, and commissioners for a much anticipated in-person reunion.
Bénédicte Touchard de Morant, director of MIP Cancun, says: “The television industry is eager to get back to business in person and we welcome the opportunity to bring everyone together in the uniquely relaxed yet business-efficient environment of MIP Cancun. Last year’s online market was very well received but overwhelmingly the feedback tells us there is nothing like meeting in person and forging relationships face-to-face.”
For Carolina Cordero, president, MTH Productions (Argentina) and general manager of WAWA (Worldwide Audiovisual Women’s Association): “MIP Cancun is an unmissable market in the audiovisual industry calendar for the region. It is the market we all want to attend, because of its quality and effectiveness when closing business deals. MIP Cancun Online has been effective but nothing can replace the face-to-face experience. We all are waiting to meet again. There is nothing like closing a deal with a handshake. The platform helped for the business, but nothing can replace the face-to-face experience with potential partners.”
The three main components of MIP Cancun 2021 are:
Distribution Market – A curated programme of 17-25 one-to-one, pre-scheduled face-to-face meetings over 4 days between international distributors and buyers operating in the Latin America and US Hispanic markets.
Co-Production Forum – A curated programme of 10-15 one-to-one, pre-scheduled face-to-face meetings over 4 days between regional producers and commissioners seeking to develop co-production opportunities across the Americas.
Conference Programme – A tailor-made conference programme featuring sessions and keynotes focussed on Latin America and US Hispanic topics, connecting and inspiring industry leaders.
Event organizers, Reed MIDEM, are working closely with local, national, and international authorities and the Cancun venue, to follow and implement necessary health and safety measures, prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of delegates.
