MIP JUNIOR 2026 in Cannes: kids and family content market

MIPJUNIOR is the global meeting point for the kids and family content industry, held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes on 10-11 October 2026. Over two days, leading international buyers, sellers and producers of children's programming come together to present, license and acquire content covering everything from preschool to young adults. The event blends forward-looking conferences, networking and matchmaking sessions, and a screenings library accessible digitally before, during and after the market. For 2026, the entire MIPJUNIOR experience moves inside the Palais des Festivals, creating a more connected environment for meetings, content discovery and deal-making. Highlights include the MIPJUNIOR Pitch for new projects aimed at tweens and teens, Disney Kids & Family joining as Presenting Partner, and world premieres such as the animated series Migali. It's a must-attend date for professionals working in animation, kids IP and multiplatform distribution strategies. For international attendees, Cannes offers a wide range of hotels within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals. Staying near La Croisette makes it easy to reach morning sessions and evening networking events.
