Confirmed speakers are Daniel Burman, head of content for Mediapro in the U.S.; Ignacio Manubens, chief content director at Atresmedia Studios in Spain; and Michele Zatta, commissioning editor at Rai in Italy.

Among other highlights, MIP Cancun 2018 will also include 30 Minutes With, where participants can meet with industry leaders to learn about programming and production needs during a series of intimate sessions.
