The Media Production & Technology Show (MPTS) will celebrate its 10th anniversary, which will take place May 13-14, 2026.
The UK’s biggest show for the media, production and technology communities attracted a record 13,000 attendees from 50 countries this year.
For the second consecutive year, MPTS will span both levels of London Olympia’s Grand Hall, with the upstairs area expanded to host a dedicated content creator zone, a new networking bar and additional spaces for informal meetings, collaboration and ‘work from anywhere’ opportunities.
The Content Creator Stage will allow delegates to participate in live panels, fireside chats and practical sessions covering monetisation, creative strategy and success stories. There will also be a dedicated networking space designed to connect creators, brands, and platforms.
Also new for 2026 is a live podcast studio, which will offer attendees the chance to hear directly from leading voices in media and entertainment.
Future Media Conferences’ Post Production World Conference Europe, meanwhile, will make its debut at MPTS.
The training event will run dozens of hands-on sessions on topics such as AI, post-production, motion graphics and VFX.
The SMPTE Media Technology Conference will relocate to an expanded space on the ground floor, bringing together technical leaders, innovators and decision-makers to explore trends and discuss the future of global media technology.
MPTS director Charlotte Wheeler, said: “Each year we strive to evolve MPTS to reflect the needs of our audience – and our 10th year will see some of our most exciting developments yet.
“From the launch of the Content Creator Stage and live podcast studio, to the addition of a new upstairs bar and networking spaces, we are creating an environment designed to inspire creativity, collaboration and connection.
“Partnering with FMC to bring Post Production World Conference Europe to London for the first time further cements MPTS as the destination for anyone working across media production, post, and technology in Europe.”
