On April 23-24-25 , 2026, come experience this unique interlude, this bubble of creativity, where inspiration, connection, and innovation meet, all within the CANNESERIES Festival.
PROGRAM
Following a successful launch, the second edition of CANNESERIES Industry returns as a refined strategic think tank, a space for hundreds of professionals to engage in meaningful dialogue. Our mission is to be truly useful to your craft by favoring networking over back-to-back speed meetings.
Trust our curated schedule to dive deep into the shifts redefining our industry: from high-level production (with The White Lotus producer David Bernad and Film France-CNC) and new financing models (exploring Brand Content with Banijay, Webedia, and YouTube), to international soft power (South Korean showcases and the “POV: Europe on Ukraine” call for series with SPACE). Over three days, we will also tackle emerging formats (Vertical series), access in sports docuseries, discuss the next frontier in IP investment, alongside exclusive masterclasses (with Noah Hawley, Lesli Linka Glatter, Richard Gadd).
ACCREDITATION
The accreditation is reserved for professionals connected to serialized creation: screenwriters, producers, broadcasters, composers, casting directors, directors, showrunners, sales agents, buyers, actors, agents, professionals in the technical industries...
Each professional must provide proof of participation within the past five years in a commissioned series.
The accreditation is personal and non-transferable. All applications are reviewed by our accreditation team. Incomplete requests or those lacking professional credentials may be declined.
