PART 2: More Is More. 8000+ Attendees, Make New Friends & Learn
The New Global Screen Economy Summit — Opening day, Nov 10
Whether you are seeking financing, representation, creative or business partners, production locations and incentives, AI and technology partners, or are ready to pitch your next film, the in-person meetings and connections that happen organically each year at AFM have been career-changing.
Remember those previous AFM Finance Seminars? This is the 6.0 version. There is MORE.
The expanded AFM Innovation Hub, in partnership with Marché du Film’s Cannes Next, and the North American debut of The Cinemas Club, will explore the future of theatrical exhibition and moviegoing. Over four days, Wednesday, November 11 through Saturday, November 14, 2026, AFM House. All of this added newness demands a smart schedule. Download the AFM26 app on your iOS or Android device.
The Summit will explore-and aim to decode the proposed Federal Production Incentive. It will unpack layers of jargony stuff: Creator and Audience-driven studios, emerging IP, fresh ways to find your audience and how to monetize what you’re developing and protect what you already have. It will assess current scenarios transforming our industry.
