MIP CANCUN Adds a New Celebration to Its 2026 Programme
Since its launch in 2014, MIP CANCUN has established itself as a meeting point for the Latin American and US Hispanic content markets. The new Gala aims to build on the event’s emphasis on business relationships and industry collaboration, adding a live entertainment experience to its networking programme.
María Pérez-Bellière, Director of MIP CANCUN, said: “MIP CANCUN has always been about the strength of its community and the relationships that drive business across our industry. With the inaugural MIP CANCUN Gala, we want to celebrate that spirit and create a truly special moment for the people shaping the future of entertainment in Latin America.”
Andrea Silva, Director of MegaLive, said: “Our partnership with MIP CANCUN and Estudios RCN brings that vision to a space where leading voices from across the audiovisual industry come together. We want this gala to be more than an event: an experience that celebrates talent, strengthens the connections that drive our industry forward, and showcases how music and live entertainment can create truly memorable moments.”
Rodrigo Romero-Hoyos, Head of Marketing at Estudios RCN, commented: “Our partnership with MIP CANCUN and MegaLive reflects that mindset: thinking creatively, embracing new opportunities, and pushing beyond traditional formats. By bringing new experiences to one of the industry’s key international gatherings, we want to continue contributing to its evolution while showing our clients and partners that Estudios RCN is committed to innovation, bold ideas, and shaping what’s next in entertainment.”
