Opening Keynote

By Marion Ranchet

For years, the European film, streaming & content industry has been shaped by US and Chinese players. Netflix, Apple, Amazon, ByteDance and Google are among the few dominating streaming, infrastructure, AI models and screen technologies. High time to speak about Europe, sovereignty and emerging opportunities.

Let's Talk about
Creativity & Tech

While Tech always serves Creativity, Creativity was never driven more by Tech than in 2026. True? Some of the most distinguished global experts from the intersection of media and digital operations – from VFX and 3D, from AI and animation tech and from leading production companies – will speak about their views on: Creativity and Tech in 2026.

Latest AI
Use Cases

Showcasing the latest use & business cases for Generative and Productive AI in German film and streaming: At #MTHCON26 we discuss successes & challenges – and the bigger questions of regulation and digital sovereignty – with filmmakers, tech experts and AI providers.

Streaming Update

Is there an open European infrastructure for content, monetisation, and public interaction – ensuring value is created in Europe and not drained from it? Will MicroDrama succeed as a new storytelling and business format in Europe? And how to address the still unsolved problem of Content Discovery? #MTHCON26 Streaming Update tells you more.

#MTHCON26
Guest of Honour: UK

Europe's biggest screen market is restructuring at speed. What can we learn from it? Leading players from British film, broadcasting & streaming share what's working, what isn't and what comes next.

Journalism & Tech

Platforms changed the rules of journalism. Generative AI is changing them again. What lessons from the platform era still matter today? And how can journalism remain independent, relevant and trusted in a media environment shaped by algorithms, AI agents and the tech companies behind them?
