Unspooling over May 25-28 in the Meliá Calvià Beach Hotel at Magaluf, Mallorca, the 10th anniversary of edition Conecta afforded extraordinary vistas of Magaluf Bay, its turquoise Mediterranean waters worthy of laptop wallpaper.
Bowing an all-in-one boutique model, Conecta Magaluf Mallorca was attended by 400 delegates, including executives from HBO Max, Prime Video, YouTube, France TV, RAI, RTVE, SkyShowtime, TVI, Atresmedia, Telemundo Studios, Mediaset Italia, Movistar Plus, 3Cat and Balearic Islands pubcaster IB3.
“Our new, more compact and all-in-one format is focused on facilitating connections and maximising the value of time spent together, which we believe is far more efficient for everyone,” Conecta Magaluf-Mallorca director Géraldine Gonard said at a closing session.
Beyond classic sea vistas, Conecta Magaluf-Mallorca’s conference strand also allowed delegates a rapid, often incisive catch-up on the state of the international TV business, as well as how cutting edge tourist concerns have become a new driver for part of the film-TV industry.
Also often stage center was Mallorca’s emerging film industry. That needs to be taken seriously. In 2025, according to Cannes Marché du Film’s Focus report, Spain produced 426 feature films, up 30% on 2024 and nearly twice the volume of France (228). One driver, the report says, is not only national but regional support schemes.
