Mark your calendar: FIPP Congress 2026
After the resounding success of our Centenary celebration in Madrid last year – where 500+ media leaders from 47 countries came together at the stunning Círculo de Bellas Artes – we knew we would be back.
48th FIPP WORLD MEDIA CONGRESS: 13-15 OCTOBER 2026
So, what’s new for 2026?
This year, we are moving to the Riu Plaza España, a new venue in the very heart of Madrid that will provide even more space for networking, innovation and the kind of connection that makes Congress unforgettable.
What to expect
While we’re still working on the programme, the experiences and the layouts (watch this space!), you can count on the Congress experience you know and love:
- Three days of cutting-edge sessions from global media leaders
- Unparalleled networking opportunities with 500+ senior executives
- Intimate workshops diving into the topics that matter most
- Cultural experiences showcasing the best of Madrid
- The Conversation Starter app connecting you with the right people at the right time
FIPP 101: The Fundamentals of Media’s Future
As we enter our 101st year, we are bringing together the brightest minds in the media industry for a masterclass in what’s next – sharing insights, challenging assumptions, and building partnerships that will define the next century.
Our advice? Come for Congress, stay for the week.
Madrid in October is magic! We’ll be organising optional cultural experiences before and after the main event – plenty of opportunities to explore one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Make it a trip to remember.
Early bird registration opens in February.
