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.
Lucy Smith, Director of MIP LONDON and MIPCOM CANNES, said:
The biggest international week in unscripted is now in London with MIP next February. 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. Running across five days, MIP LONDON will have a comprehensive invitation programme which gives free access to qualified buyers.
MIP LONDON is produced by the team behind MIPCOM CANNES, the flagship entertainment content market for the international TV industry, attended by over 11 000 delegates from over 100 countries in 2023.
The 40th edition takes place in Cannes 21-24 October 2024 with MIPJUNIOR, the annual meeting point for the Kids sector, returning to its traditional slot ahead of the market on 19-20 October with a pre-opening afternoon on 18 October.
