The event will give an opportunity to review the past few months from a producer’s perspective and discuss the key changes shaping the market. In the spotlight of conference will be the industry’s current state, new financing and business models, evolving relationships with the audience, platforms and broadcasters strategies, regulations, AI, and the competencies that will decide about the position of film production companies in next years.
KIPA Summit 2026 also offers a space for broader reflection on the future of audiovisual production: how to balance creative ambition with business sustainability, how to respond to changing market conditions, and what decisions should be made today with an eye toward the sector’s future development.
