In 2027, World Content Market celebrates its 20th anniversary, bringing international television and digital content professionals together in Moscow on 13–15 April at Amber Plaza Event Hall.
Founded in 2008, World Content Market has spent two decades connecting international sales companies with buyers from Russia and the CIS. Thousands of industry professionals from 70+ countries have met at the World Content Market over the years, discovering new content, negotiating deals, launching projects and building business relationships that extend far beyond the exhibition floor.
The anniversary edition will bring together over 500 buyer companies from Russia and the CIS, including more than 150 TV broadcasters, 40 OTT platforms and 350 distributors.
Among them are major Russian TV channels and streaming platforms, including TV CHANNEL RUSSIA, CHANNEL ONE RUSSIA, CHANNEL ONE WORLDWIDE, NTV BROADCASTING COMPANY, TNT BROADCASTING NETWORK, CTC MEDIA, REN TV CHANNEL, TV CHANNEL FRIDAY, TV CHANNEL “RUSSIA – KULTURA”, TV CHANNEL U, CHANNEL 5, TV CENTER, IVI, OKKO, WINK, YANDEX/KINOPOISK, START, KION, TRICOLOR, 1HDTV, RED MEDIA, and many others.
For international sales companies, Moscow offers the opportunity to meet decision-makers from across the region in person, explore demand for new content and develop partnerships through face-to-face negotiations. A dedicated matchmaking service, advance meeting scheduling, translation assistance and targeted content promotion will support business discussions throughout the market.
Beyond the exhibition floor, World Content Market 2027 will explore the trends reshaping the industry. The conference program will address changing viewing habits, evolving television programming strategies and audience trends across Russia and the CIS, including the development of regional television.
A major highlight will be AI FEST, a special program exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming content creation and distribution. Industry experts, producers and technology companies will share practical applications of AI in scriptwriting, video and audio production, post-production, dubbing and localization. Screenings and presentations will feature films, series and other projects created using AI technologies.
The growing business of Vertical Drama will also take center stage, with discussions focused on production, international distribution and monetization opportunities for short-form vertical series.
Content presentations, screenings and networking receptions will complete three days of business meetings and professional exchange, bringing together established partners and new participants in an atmosphere that has defined World Content Market throughout its history.
Over the past 20 years, the ways audiences watch content and the technologies behind its production and distribution have changed dramatically. Yet one thing remains constant: international content business is built on personal connections, trust and the opportunity to meet face to face. As World Content Market celebrates its anniversary, Moscow will once again become a meeting point for international content companies and buyers from Russia and the CIS — a place to reconnect, discover new opportunities and begin the next chapter of business partnerships.
