The 10th anniversary edition to be unveiled at EFM Berlin as professional accreditations also open.
Conecta Magaluf–Mallorca has opened its international fiction project calls for its 2026 edition, scheduled to take place from May 25 to 28 on the beach of Magaluf, in Calvià (Mallorca).
As it marks its 10th anniversary, Conecta will unveil the first details of its upcoming edition at the European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin, where it will host an exclusive presentation and networking event on February 13.
Over the past decade, Conecta has established itself as a key international co-production market for serialized fiction and feature-length projects aimed at the television and digital space. The event brings together producers, broadcasters, streaming platforms, sales agents and international investors, with a strong focus on developing content with clear international potential.
As part of its EFM presence, Conecta will host an industry gathering to present Conecta Magaluf–Mallorca 2026. The event will feature speakers including Pedro Vidal Montserrat, Secretary of Culture and Sports of the Govern de les Illes Balears; Juan Antonio Amengual, Mayor of Calvià; and Géraldine Gonard, Director of Conecta.
International project calls for the 2026 pitching sessions
For its 2026 edition, Conecta has opened four international calls, all aimed at fiction projects in development:
Pitch Drama Series – Drama series and miniseries for television, across all subgenres, with between 4 and 13 episodes per season. Deadline: March 5, 2026.

The organization will cover accreditation fees and three nights of accommodation for one representative per finalist project.

Mallorca, and in particular the beach of Magaluf, offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit every budget. With Palma de Mallorca Airport providing more than 100 direct destinations, the island enjoys top-tier accessibility with daily connections from all major capitals—especially Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. These factors make Magaluf a highly convenient and attractive location for hosting an international industry gathering like Conecta.
