The UK’s most powerful hub for the creative industries is set to celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2026 – and MPTS wants you to be part of it.
Taking place at The Grand Hall, Olympia London on 13–14 May 2026, the 10th edition of MPTS will bring you an expanded line-up of features and partnerships that mark a decade of growth, innovation, and community for the media, production, and technology industries.
MPTS will be debuting exciting new features, including a Content Creator Stage, a live podcast studio and an extra networking bar. You’ll also experience the arrival of Post Production World Conference Europe (PPW Europe), brought to you by Future Media Conferences (FMC).
For the second consecutive year, MPTS will span both levels of Olympia’s Grand Hall, with the upstairs area expanded to host a dedicated content creator networking zone, a new bar, and additional spaces designed for informal meetings, collaboration, and “work from anywhere” opportunities.
10 Year Anniversary
As we celebrate 10 years, MPTS continues to evolve as the UK’s most comprehensive event of its kind. The milestone not only showcases new features such as the Content Creator Stage and live podcast studio, but also reinforces MPTS as the go-to hub for collaboration, training, and forward-looking conversation with the arrival of PPW Europe.
