I would like to register for CANNESERIES INDUSTRY
CANNESERIES Industry, CANNESERIES' new B2B program, is held at the heart of the Festival and will take place for its second edition on April 23-24-25, 2026. Born out of the conviction that human interaction must be at the heart of our series industry, and building on the success of previous editions of the Writers Club and Producers Club, this event offers a unique format that encourages authentic and constructive exchanges.
For three days, in the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, hundreds of industry professionals from around the world will come together to discuss the future of series. Screenwriters, producers (fiction and documentary), broadcasters, showrunners, composers, students, casting directors, sales agents, directors, and actors: all will be there to represent the series creation chain. This global gathering connects the creative minds and decision-makers who shape the stories of today and tomorrow. It is an opportunity to meet peers, but also to understand the reality of other professions in the chain and thus facilitate mutual understanding of each other's challenges.
Participants attend a tailor-made program designed for them (panels, speed meetings, pitch sessions, etc.), but there is also room for more informal moments: lunches, cocktail parties, screenings, and evening events. These highlights not only allow ideas to emerge, but also help forge lasting bonds and give rise to new projects.
At the same time, professionals can discover the Official Selection and participate in the life of the Festival (ceremonies, masterclasses, workshops), in an open-minded approach that reinforces the synergy between artistic creation and professional challenges.
CANNESERIES Industry thus becomes a bridge between inspiration and action, a space for conviviality and reflection where people exchange ideas, listen to each other, and create together. Here, opportunities take shape, stories take root, and the industry moves forward, driven by the desire to collaborate in new ways.
CANNESERIES Industry also includes private sessions reserved for producers, broadcasters, composers, directors, screenwriters, and casting directors, forming the Festival's six Clubs. These clubs create a privileged space with a limited number of participants, a bubble of creativity in which they share their current issues and their vision for the future of their profession.

“The CANNESERIES Producers Club is where I want to be next April – among the most exciting international television producers of the moment. It's an opportunity to reflect together on the future of television and leave feeling inspired and connected after a weekend in Cannes.”

“CANNESERIES was a truly valuable experience. The highly informative sessions and one-on-one exchanges with writers and producers were particularly enriching. It's so important to have a festival that creates a space for these connections and conversations.”

“For me, CANNESERIES Industry is the must-attend professional boutique event in Europe dedicated to series, with an exclusive selection of talent, sessions, and tailor-made programs. The atmosphere is both relaxed and inspiring, and I love clearing my schedule for a few days to meet amazing people and get inspired.”
Sébastien Folin
Producer (Diana Boss, À la poursuite du Rougail Saucisses) / La Belle Télé
“If the series had to be summed up in one word, it would be: collaboration. CANNESERIES has understood this well, building us a wonderful playground. A rare place where we can invent together, mixing desires, languages, and stories.”
Larry Bass
Producer (Le Club des Miracles, Borderline) / Shinawill
“CANNESERIES is a privileged place to meet high-level fiction executives who are currently developing and financing series, in order to discuss what works—and what doesn't—in a constantly changing world. It's also an opportunity to discover series in the presence of their creators and producers. All this in the magnificent setting of Cannes.”
