Lucy Smith, director of MIPTV and MIPCOM spoke about MIP London 2025. New event in the first half of the year, a complicated date in times of wars and financial crises, added to two events announced in January in Miami and prior to the Screenings of the ‘majors’ in Los Angeles, United States.
Smith offered information about the venue and not the strategic platform for buyers and sellers. Surely it is early to talk about this important central axis.
What is evident is that MIPCOM will strengthen itself as the most important event on the industry’s agenda, scheduled for October of this year, commemorating its historic 40th anniversary.
MIP Cancún will be the favorite and obligatory event to close the year in a meeting of all continents with America with a specific agenda for meetings of producers, distributors and buyers.
