MIP Cancun is introducing its first-ever gala in partnership with Estudios RCN and MegaLive, adding a new industry celebration to the 2026 edition of the Latin American content market, taking place from 17 to 20 November at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico. Scheduled for Thursday, 19 November, at 9pm, the inaugural MIP Cancun Gala will bring together executives and decision-makers from across the Latin American entertainment industry for an evening of networking and live entertainment. The event will be open to all registered market attendees.

As part of the partnership, Estudios RCN will contribute to the programme with a live performance by Magic Juan, former member of the Latin music group Proyecto Uno. The artist will perform an exclusive showcase featuring some of his best-known songs. The initiative aims to celebrate the people, partnerships and creative forces shaping the region's entertainment business, bringing together buyers, producers, distributors, broadcasters, streaming platforms, studios, brands, agencies, digital-first companies, vertical content platforms and representatives of the creator economy.

María Pérez-Bellière, Director of MIP Cancun, said: “MIP CANCUN has always been about the strength of its community and the relationships that drive business across our industry. With the inaugural MIP CANCUN Gala, we want to celebrate that spirit and create a truly special moment for the people shaping the future of entertainment in Latin America. Together with RCN and MegaLive, we're bringing a new dimension to the market, combining world-class entertainment with the connections and shared experiences that make MIP CANCUN unique.”
Andrea Silva, Director of MegaLive, added: “At MegaLive, we believe entertainment has the power to connect people, industries, and cultures far beyond the stage. Our partnership with MIP CANCUN and Estudios RCN brings that vision to a space where leading voices from across the audiovisual industry come together. We want this gala to be more than an event: an experience that celebrates talent, strengthens the connections that drive our industry forward, and showcases how music and live entertainment can create truly memorable moments.”

Rodrigo Romero-Hoyos, Head of Marketing at Estudios RCN, commented: “At Estudios RCN, we believe staying ahead means constantly challenging how we create, produce, and bring entertainment to audiences around the world. Our partnership with MIP CANCUN and MegaLive reflects that mindset: thinking creatively, embracing new opportunities, and pushing beyond traditional formats. By bringing new experiences to one of the industry's key international gatherings, we want to continue contributing to its evolution while showing our clients and partners that Estudios RCN is committed to innovation, bold ideas, and shaping what's next in entertainment.”
