The Media Production & Technology Show (MPTS) recorded its highest attendance to date, with 13,000 visitors from 50 countries gathering at London’s Olympia on 14–15 May 2025.
MPTS is one of the biggest trade shows in the UK dedicated to media production and technology.
The event featured more than 300 exhibitors and sponsors, alongside over 100 sessions across eight theatres. Over 350 speakers took part in the editorially led programme, addressing topics such as AI, the creator economy, production craft and sustainability.
The Sustainability Series included panels with representatives from Sustainable Film, Warner Bros. Discovery, Dimension Studio and A Greener Future.
Sam Street, marketing Ooficer at BAFTA albert, said: “It is always so great to connect with suppliers, companies, studios and creatives who share our common passion for sustainability within screen industries.”
Exhibitors also reported strong engagement across sectors. Peter Alderson exhibited with Nikon, he said why MPTS is a good place for them: “We’ve partnered with RED and MRMC… I think we’re in the right place to make that statement here at MPTS.”
Charlotte Wheeler, event director of MPTS said, “Without doubt, 2025 was the most stimulating, ahead-of-the-curve MPTS yet. At a time when we are seeing the industry under real pressure from budget cuts to talent shortages and perpetual change, the conversations and connections on the show floor were positive and demonstrated infectious community spirit. The level of attendance and the quality of attendees from across all sectors of the industry was incredible – not just stakeholders in technology but representatives from production and commissioning, the creator economy, those new to the industry and freelancers were all brought together by MPTS under one roof.
Wheeler spoke to EN about the importance of MPTS content programme: “The content programme has been a pinnacle of the show’s success over the last 10 years. If a show has high-quality, free content, people will come. We are in the industry 24/7 – we are a publisher, hold conference and awards throughout the year. The content comes from our ideas”
Next year’s show will take place on 13-14 May, also at Olympia.
