About EXPOCINE
EXPOCINE was born in 2014 as a convention dedicated to making the bridge between the exhibition and distribution sectors, and between them and their suppliers, in the heart of the industry: the city of São Paulo. It quickly consolidated as the biggest event on the market. In 2019, it expanded its programming even further to offer content and connections relevant also to producers, becoming the big screen hub. In 2023, the period of realization was extended, with activities extending for three days of content, besides the night of the opening ceremony. Further information by site.
