Banijay Entertainment executives to keynote at MIPCOM Cannes

Banijay Entertainment Chairman Jeff Zucker and CEO Marco Bassetti are scheduled to headline a keynote conversation at MIPCOM Cannes on October 12, 2026. This appearance marks the first time the two executives will share a stage following the $8.5 billion merger between Banijay and All3Media that closed in July.

The combined entity, headquartered in London, is described as the world’s largest independent production company, encompassing 200 production companies and labels across 25 territories. Their portfolio includes major titles such as ‘Black Mirror,’ ‘Big Brother,’ ‘Survivor,’ ‘Peaky Blinders,’ and ‘MasterChef.’

The keynote session will focus on the company’s vision for growth, the challenges of a global entertainment business at a major inflection point, and the role of independence within a rapidly consolidating market. The discussion is part of the MIPCOM conference program, ‘From Story to Scale.’
