Wait, MIP London Is Done? What’s Next?!

Illustration of a modern conference setting with books and people engaged in conversation, representing MIP Talks and London Book Fair.
  • MIP London has ended after just two years.
  • A new event, MIP Talks, is launching.
  • It will run alongside the London Book Fair in March.

You won’t believe what we just heard! Big news for the creative world in London. Something’s ending, but something fresh is starting right up.

MIP London? Yeah, that event you might have seen buzzing around for the last couple of years? It’s done. Finished. Just two years, and the curtains are closing.

But hold on! The organizers, RX France, aren’t just packing up and leaving town. Nope. They’re already cooking up something new for us. It’s called MIP Talks, and it sounds like a real treat.

Imagine a space where ideas just flow. This new MIP Talks will join the London Book Fair in March. Think of the warm, inviting colors of a library mixed with the crisp, modern lines of a conference stage. A fresh aesthetic, for sure.

The London Book Fair is a huge deal for RX’s Reed Exhibitions. It’s one of their main events. So, putting MIP Talks right there? Smart move. It’s like finding a new favorite podcast right next to your go-to bookstore. Speaking of new beginnings, remember when Shruti Haasan almost tied the knot? Talk about a change of plans!

It reminds us of how different teams come together, like Liz Murdoch and Jane Featherstone’s crew, always building something cool. And while London is getting a new vibe, Vir Das is getting ready to make NYC laugh in 2027!

Our Take

We think this is actually pretty cool. Sometimes, things need a fresh coat of paint, right? MIP Talks sounds more focused, maybe a bit more intimate. Like a deep-dive conversation instead of a giant festival. We’re excited to see what conversations spark up!
