MIP Cancun wrapped a dynamic four days of accelerated deal-making, one to one meetings, networking and content discovery with 750 buyers, distributors, producers and digital platforms from 40 countries in attendance at the industry’s #1 international content and co-production market for Latin America and US Hispanic television, that took place between November 19 to 22. After growing tenfold in its first decade, the 11th edition of MIP Cancun also welcomed 28 debuting distributors, introduced a newly upgraded online matchmaking platform to further enhance its signature one to one meetings, and staged the most comprehensive conference programme to date including extended FAST & AVOD and Co-Production tracks.
“MIP Cancun is unique in being a strong business market powered by an incredible, engaged community whose feedback on the additions and the atmosphere at this year’s edition has been hugely positive,” said MIP Cancun Director Maria Perez-Bellière. “The essence and potency of MIP Cancun has always been the mix of personal and productive, in making meeting, networking and dealmaking as simple as possible from breakfast to bedtime. It’s been a buzzy, insightful and effective week thanks to the energy that everyone brought which makes this market so special.”
Key highlights of the 2024 edition included an expanded “FAST & AVOD: America’s Summit” and the introduction of a standalone “Co-Production Summit,” alongside producer-focused “Co-Production Bootcamps.” These sessions featured executives from major companies like TikTok, Spotify, Max, Disney, Paramount, Banijay Mexico and US Hispanic, Lionsgate, TelevisaUnivision, Globo, and Sony.
Additionally, high-profile keynote speakers took the stage, including Pilar Blasco (Banijay), Paulo Koelle (Prime Video), Billy Rovzar (Lemon Studios), Diego Ramírez Schrempp (Dynamo), Miguel Villarruel (Publicis Rebellion), Marcelo Romeo (Newsan), and Teresa Fernández-Valdés (Te Espero en Marte). The event also featured the Premios PRODU (PRODU Awards) Gala Ceremony and Party, showcasing industry achievements.
The market hosted five major screenings: “Vendetta” (Global Agency), “Corazón Negro” (Inter Medya), “Farah” (Calinos Entertainment), “2Manía de Ti” (Globo), and “Valentina, My Special Love” (VIP 2000 TV and ZEE Entertainment). In addition, the first mentoring breakfast was organized in collaboration with WAWA (Worldwide Audiovisual Women’s Association), under the theme “Facing the Challenge of Change Together.”
A total of over 8,000 one-on-one meetings were facilitated for international distributors, buyers, and producers through the newly upgraded MIP CANCUN matchmaking platform.
