Don't miss the animation industry's foremost showcase in terms of co-producing, purchasing, selling, financing and distributing animation content for all broadcasting platforms.

Located at L'Impérial Palace, the exhibitors' market is open from 9 am to 7 pm with the visiting professionals' market open between 9:30 am and 7 pm.
Anticipate changes in the sector from artistic, economic and technical points of view and talk over the important changes and challenges affecting the industry in a varied programme of subjects.
Over 4 days, these conferences serve as a forum for information, reflection and exchanges, furthering an understanding of the issues and deliberating on suitable practices.
They are organised at the Chambre de métiers and at Mifa – Salon Verdi A&B.
The Creative Focus is an incubator for projects and a privileged exchange forum for animation professionals and the talents of tomorrow.
Located at the Mifa site, it takes place between the project area, the Recruitment area for talent scouts and the Rotonde du Parc for Meetings.
