MIPCOM CANNES, the flagship entertainment content market for the international TV industry, attended by over 11 000 delegates from over 100 countries in 2023.
France – Organisers of MIPCOM CANNES, MIP LONDON and MIP
CANCUN – announced today that the 2025 editions of MIPDOC (27th edition) and
MIPFORMATS (15th edition) will join MIP LONDON next February.
MIP LONDON is the new
international multi-genre content market, screening and networking event
launching in the heart of London’s West End from Sunday 23 February to Thursday
27 February 2025 at the central Savoy Hotel and adjacent IET London conference centre.
Respected as the two
leading international television business markets for the global doc, factual
and formats communities, MIPDOC and MIPFORMATS have been a mainstay of the
previous MIPTV market that held its last edition in Cannes in April 2024.
The MIP LONDON
editions of MIPDOC and MIPFORMATS will take place on Sunday 23 February and
Monday 24 February. These two days will be centred on delivering opportunities
to showcase new content, gain market insights, secure global distribution
deals, and catching up in person. Screenings and meetings targeting the
unscripted community will continue throughout the five days of MIP LONDON.
“The biggest
international week in unscripted is now in London with MIP next February,” said
Lucy Smith, Director of MIP LONDON and MIPCOM CANNES. “We’ve had clear feedback
from each genre community about the importance of maintaining MIPDOC and
MIPFORMATS in the first half of the year. Unscripted is a growing part of the
London events in February. By starting MIPDOC and MIPFORMATS ahead of the week,
MIP LONDON helps meet this demand, gives unscripted buyers and producers a head
start on latest trends and potential partnerships, and further brings the MIP
experience to London.”
MIP LONDON is a
complement to the existing February events, providing a central networking hub
and international gathering point to accommodate for the growing number of
distributors, buyers and producers worldwide who wish to have a presence and
take meetings over the week – staged less than a 10-minute walk from regularly
used West End screening venues or event spaces. Further information can be
found on the newly launched website here.
Running across five
days, MIP LONDON will have a comprehensive invitation programme which gives
free access to qualified buyers.
