New Markets.
New Audiences.

The way audiences discover, consume and engage with content has changed. Traditional television and film now exist alongside streaming, social video, creator-led content, gaming and new forms of digital content.

CATS Istanbul brings this thriving ecosystem together in one international business platform.

Broadcasters, platforms, producers, distributors, creators, brands, agencies, investors and technology providers will meet in Istanbul between 24-26 June 2027 at the Halic Congress Centre to discover new content, exchange ideas and build commercial partnerships across Türkiye, CEE, CIS and MENA.
