The event will take place on March 17–18, 2027, at the Buenos Aires Convention Center, as Buenos Aires prepares to serve as World Sports Capital 2027, with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires as Host City, ACES Europe as Institutional Partner, and Agencia Quiroga and QSport as co-organisers.

Sports Summit officially announces Buenos Aires 2027, a new edition of the international platform connecting sport, business, innovation, investment, technology and networking, established as one of the leading meeting points for the sports industry across Europe and the Americas.

The next edition will take place on March 17–18, 2027, at the Buenos Aires Convention Center, marking another milestone in Sports Summit’s international expansion and strengthening connections among key stakeholders across the Latin American sports ecosystem.

The announcement follows the success of Sports Summit Madrid 2026, which established Madrid as a leading global meeting point for the sports industry, bringing together 19,800 attendees, more than 300 speakers and 110 exhibiting companies. The event recorded growth of over 60% in its exhibition area and a 30% increase in international company participation.

Buenos Aires was selected in recognition of the growth of Argentina’s sports ecosystem, the city’s international standing and its emergence as one of Latin America’s most promising markets for sports business development. In this context, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires will support the event as Host City in the year Buenos Aires was named World Sports Capital 2027 by ACES Europe, becoming the first city outside Europe to receive this distinction.

“Being named World Sports Capital 2027 is much more than recognition for Buenos Aires. It is an opportunity to continue strengthening sport as a public policy that cuts across different areas of the City. Sport drives economic development, boosts tourism, promotes inclusion and has something extraordinary: the ability to bring people, institutions, and the public and private sectors together around common goals. At the Sports Secretariat, we work with this vision, creating the conditions for Buenos Aires to continue growing as a host city for major events and as a city where sport plays a leading role in its development. The arrival of Sports Summit is a reflection of that journey,” said Fabián Turnes, Secretary of Sports of the City of Buenos Aires.

This designation strengthens Buenos Aires’ international positioning as a host city for major sporting events and creates a strategic setting for bringing together key stakeholders from across the region’s sports industry.

“Sports Summit is coming to Buenos Aires at an extraordinary moment for the city and for the sports industry across the region. The designation as World Sports Capital 2027 represents a unique opportunity to bring together leading figures from across the ecosystem and position Buenos Aires as one of the world’s major sports hubs. Our goal is to build much more than an event: we want to establish a platform that drives business, innovation, knowledge and strategic connections between Latin America and Europe, creating an impact that extends beyond the two days of the event,” said Sebastian Lateulade, Executive Chairman and Founder of Sports Summit Global.

The local organisation of Sports Summit Buenos Aires 2027 will be led by Agencia Quiroga, which will act as co-organiser and oversee strategic, commercial and institutional development in Argentina, strengthening engagement with companies, institutions, brands and sports organisations across Argentina and the wider region.

“It will be a major public-private gathering, on a par with the leading sporting events held in the world’s major cities. We understand the dynamics of sports marketing and the significant role brands play in sport, as well as the value sport can create for brands. As a communications agency, we aim to strengthen and maximise the value of these relationships by building a space that connects key stakeholders across the sports ecosystem. I hope Sports Summit Buenos Aires 2027 will help reinforce these ties and position our city as a leading hub for the sports industry in the region,” said Gustavo Quiroga, CEO of Agencia Quiroga.

Sports Summit Buenos Aires 2027 will bring together companies, sports organisations, leagues, clubs, federations, public institutions, brands, startups, investors and industry leaders to examine the trends reshaping the business of sport, generate new business opportunities and strengthen connections across sport, innovation, technology and investment.

Over the coming months, Sports Summit will announce additional speakers, partners, exhibitors, content and experiences for the Buenos Aires 2027 edition through its official channels and at sportssummit.com.ar.

The Perfect Line will be adapted in Brazil with Globo, while Hollywood Squares will be adapted in Mexico and US Hispanic with TelevisaUnivision.

Paramount Global Content Distribution today announced two new format deals in Latin America, with Globo adapting the hit game show The Perfect Line in Brazil, and TelevisaUnivision bringing Hollywood Squares to audiences in Mexico and the U.S. Hispanic market.

The deal marks the first international adaptation of The Perfect Line, which launched in the U.S. in 2025 in syndication and on GSN.

In Brazil, Globo will produce a weekly adaptation of The Perfect Line, titled Na Ordem Certa!

The series will air as a segment of Caldeirão com Mion, Globo’s popular Saturday afternoon entertainment show hosted by Marcos Mion.

The format puts a fresh, fast-paced spin on game night, challenging contestants to place a selection of items, events or facts in the correct order. Each round tests everyday knowledge and instincts, from the number of seasons a sitcom has been on the air to the most-ordered items at fast-food restaurants.

For Mexico and the U.S. Hispanic market, TelevisaUnivision has licensed Hollywood Squares which will air locally as Estrellas al Cubo.

The 50-episode series will air across TelevisaUnivision’s linear channels Las Estrellas in Mexico and UniMás in the U.S., with episodes also available on ViX.

This is the fourth Latin American adaptation of Hollywood Squares, following local versions in Brazil, Peru and Argentina, and its first for the U.S. Hispanic market.

Since originating in the U.S. in the 1960s, the format has traveled to more than 30 countries and inspired numerous local adaptations and revivals.

“Broadcasters across Latin America are investing in proven formats they can make their own, and there are no stronger partners in the region than Globo and TelevisaUnivision. Hollywood Squares pairs a universally recognizable game with a celebrity engine every market can build around local talent, while The Perfect Line’s streamlined production model is built for volume. Landing its first international sale within a year of its U.S. launch tells you how far this format will travel,” said Laura Burrell, Head of International Formats, Paramount Global Content Distribution.

The most recent seasons of Hollywood Squares aired on the CBS Television Network in the U.S. and The Perfect Line from CBS Media Ventures airs in syndication in the U.S.

The seventh edition of the TV distribution event will take place in London from February 21 to 26, featuring showcases from founding distributors Fremantle, Banijay Entertainment and ITV Studios.

The London TV Screenings has announced the dates and founding distributor schedule for its seventh edition, which will run from February 21 to 26, 2027, across venues in central London.

One of the UK’s leading annual television distribution events, the Screenings will bring together international distributors, studios, buyers and industry professionals for a week of independently hosted showcases and screenings. The program will feature scripted, factual and format content, alongside activities from a broad range of participating distributors.

The founding distributors’ schedule will begin on Wednesday, February 24, when Banijay Entertainment presents its drama, non-scripted finished tape and formats lineup at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly. It will be the first time the company showcases its combined offering at the venue following its merger with All3Media.

That same day, ITV Studios will host its Formats Festival in the morning, followed by its Unscripted and Drama Festivals in the afternoon at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. On Thursday, February 25, Fremantle will showcase its drama, factual and formats lineup at the same venue.

The event will remain free to attend, continuing to provide a platform for international content discovery and business development between buyers and distributors.

“The London TV Screenings has become a key fixture in the international content calendar, bringing together buyers and distributors from across the industry for a week of discovery, conversation and deal-making,” a spokesperson for the event said. The spokesperson also highlighted the event’s continued growth since its launch and the UK’s ongoing role as a hub for international distribution.

The 2026 edition attracted a record of more than 1,000 buyers from around the world, who attended events hosted by the founding distributors alongside more than 40 participating distributors and studios. The organizers aim to build on that momentum in 2027, as international industry gatherings continue to play an important role in showcasing content catalogs and fostering global business opportunities.

The inaugural edition will take place on November 24–25 in Mallorca, bringing together producers, creators, platforms and investors. The event will include a pitching initiative featuring ten vertical drama projects.

Spain is set to welcome a new industry event dedicated to vertical drama with the launch of Vertifest Magaluf, whose inaugural edition will take place on November 24–25, 2026, in Calvià, Mallorca.

The festival aims to establish itself as a European meeting point for short-form scripted content designed for mobile viewing, a rapidly expanding sector attracting increasing attention from producers, distributors, platforms and investors.

Planned as an annual event, Vertifest Magaluf will combine professional development, networking and project pitching opportunities. It is produced by BIAM, Be a Child Group Productions, TBC Agency, El Destino Producciones and Onza, with institutional support from the Balearic Islands.

One of the event’s main initiatives will be Vertipitch Calvià, a nationwide call for submissions through which ten vertical drama projects will be selected to pitch to audiovisual industry professionals.

The program will also feature Vertitalks, a series of presentations focused on the opportunities and characteristics of vertical storytelling, alongside business roundtables exploring developments across the emerging industry.

A Growing International Market

The launch comes amid the international expansion of vertical dramas, also known as short dramas or microdramas, which feature short episodes and narratives specifically designed for smartphone viewing.

According to Omdia figures cited by the organizers, the global vertical drama market reached US$11 billion in 2025 and is projected to double in size by 2030.

Through the initiative, the organizers aim to support the professionalization of the sector and strengthen Spain’s position as a hub for vertical content production and development.

Mallorca was selected as the host location partly because of its growing audiovisual activity and experience hosting international industry events, including Conecta Fiction.

Vertifest is sponsored by the Calvià City Council through the Sustainable Tourism Tax (ITS), with additional support from the Balearic Islands Government through the Institut d’Estudis Baleàrics, the Consell de Mallorca’s Culture Department and the Fundació Turisme Responsable de Mallorca.

Submission guidelines and registration details for Vertipitch Calvià are available on the official BIAM website.

The leading star of TIMSBI Productions’ latest drama Land of the Sun, distributed by ATV Distribution, Burak Özçivit attracted considerable attention from international industry professionals, media representatives and fans, making his appearance one of the notable moments of the market.

Özçivit also attended ATV’s New Season Launch event, held on the opening day of Mipcom, where the broadcaster presented its upcoming productions to international guests. His participation added further excitement to the international promotion of Land of the Sun, attracting attention both at the exhibition venue and throughout Cannes.

The actor received a warm welcome from fans and visitors across the city, with many eager to meet him and take photographs. His appearance in front of billboards featuring Land of the Sun further raised the series’ profile, adding to its visibility during the international television market.

Burak Özçivit Meets International Industry Professionals at the ATV Stand

At the ATV stand, Özçivit met with international buyers, industry professionals and members of the press, sharing insights into Land of the Sun, his character and the series’ international journey.

Among those interviews, Özçivit spoke exclusively with ttv about portraying Kenan Kozan, the appeal of impossible love and the emotional connection his stories share with Latin American audiences. The full interview is available here.

Özçivit and Burak Sağyaşar, Co-Founder and CEO of TIMSBI Productions and producer of Land of the Sun alongside Timur Savcı, were welcomed by Ali Türkarslan and ATV executives.

Özçivit: “Love Is the Universal Language of Turkish Dramas”

During his interviews at the ATV stand, Özçivit reflected on the international success of Turkish dramas and the universal emotions that enable their stories to resonate with audiences across cultures.

Emphasizing the collective effort behind every successful production, the actor also sent his regards to his co-stars, who were unable to join him in Cannes due to their demanding filming schedule.

Özçivit highlighted love as one of the most powerful themes connecting audiences around the world, noting that viewers from different cultures can relate to the emotions and experiences of the characters they watch. He emphasized that this emotional connection is one of the key factors behind the international success of Turkish dramas.

He also underlined the cultural impact of Turkish productions, explaining that they introduce Turkey’s culture, cities and tourism destinations to audiences worldwide. Speaking about Land of the Sun, Özçivit noted that the series brings this universal emotion to the forefront through his character, Kenan Kozan.

Produced by TIMSBI Productions, with Timur Savcı and Burak Sağyaşar as producers and a screenplay by Yıldız Tunç, Land of the Sun combines a compelling storyline, distinctive characters and a captivating atmosphere, attracting interest from international buyers.

Özçivit’s participation in ATV’s New Season Launch and his appearance at Mipcom 2026 added star power to the broadcaster’s international showcase, further raising the profile of Land of the Sun and highlighting the global appeal of Turkish drama.

The event concluded an edition that combined its traditional business with new initiatives, driven by a clear goal to modernize and remain attractive to an industry undergoing transformation. Organizers also reaffirmed Mipcom’s place on the annual industry calendar, announcing the dates for its return in 2027.

By Carolina Mussio and Ana Paula Carreira, from Cannes, France

While most attendees traditionally close their agendas and end their market experience on day three, Mipcom 2026 officially closed its doors this Thursday, ending an edition that put the focus on reinventing itself to move alongside the industry’s changes.

The four-day conference’s main goal this year was to introduce new players into the mix, opening the door to new business models and opportunities; while highlighting the increasingly connected nature of the global industry, reflecting four areas of growth for Mipcom: brands, AI, verticals, and creators.

“These are not simply new communities sitting alongside the traditional market,” said of RX France’s Entertainment Division, Lucy Smith. “We are bringing them here to create new business opportunities for the core industry.”

The introduction of Mip BrandWorks, Dhar Mann as the event’s first pre-opening headliner, conferences on new technologies and microdramas, are all framed within Mipcom’s pursuit of innovation and growth through new ventures.

Despite this new viewpoint, the 2026 edition did see a slight decrease in attendance from the year before, which was noticeable in the halls of the Palais, where a few missing stands and less movement than usual reflected this new reality.

Yet, Mipcom is still committed to being a must-attend event in the yearly calendar for the entertainment industry and is already looking to next year, with dates already announced: Mipcom 2027 will take place from October 18 through the 21.

“Mipcom Cannes will return in 2027, continuing to strengthen its core international content business while developing new opportunities across the wider entertainment industry,” Smith said.

And while the Palais des Festivals might not have been bursting at the seams with attendees, those who arrived with pre-arranged meeting schedules and agendas had equally productive markets as previous years, as proven by the many announcements of alliances, sales, and deals, made throughout the first three days.

In addition, giants like Globo, Disney, or Banijay hosted special events to showcase their power of storytelling, while the Turkish companies made their presence known with their own special screenings, gala dinners, and lavish parties.

All in all, even though Mipcom has felt the effects of a changing industry, with economic woes and new business models, the event continues to be a mandatory stop for the entertainment industry to gather and connect in the French Riviera.
