Larger Networking and Wellbeing Spaces
Building on the success of its two-level format, the upstairs area of the Grand Hall will be further expanded to include additional informal meeting spaces, collaboration zones and work-from-anywhere areas. The new MPTS Pub Garden sponsored by Red Bee Media will provide a central hub for conversations, meetings and chance encounters across the two-day event.

MPTS will also continue its commitment to wellbeing and accessibility, working with EventWell to provide a SensoryCalm™ safe space, available to anyone needing support managing sensory overload or simply wishing to take a short wellbeing break during the show.

Deborah Cross, Director of Operations at Rise, said: “MPTS 2025 was a truly inspiring experience for me, proving itself to be one of the most diverse events in our industry and demonstrating a genuine commitment to inclusive representation across both its audiences and its speaker programmes – with 37% of speakers female, and 24% of attendance being female last year. Their collaborative, values-led approach is what makes MPTS such a powerful and positive force for change – it is the benchmark of how progressive and innovative industry events should be run.”

Charlotte Wheeler, Director of MPTS, said: “As we open registration for our tenth anniversary edition, we are incredibly proud of how MPTS continues to evolve alongside the industry. MPTS 2026 will see some of our most ambitious developments yet, from new stages and live experiences to expanded networking and wellbeing spaces. At its core, MPTS remains about bringing the community together, creating an environment that inspires creativity, collaboration and meaningful connection across media production and technology.”
