World Congress of Science & Factual Producers to Take Place in Rio

The World Congress of Science & Factual Producers (WCSFP) has selected Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as its host city for the 2025 edition, which is running from December 8 to 11.

“Each year, Congress captures the pulse of our industry—and this year, that pulse is accelerating with unprecedented intensity,” said Paul Lewis, conference director. “WCSFP 2025 will confront vital questions around AI, digital platforms and the evolving creator economy as we navigate how to stay creative and connected in a rapidly shifting world. There is no better destination than the vibrant and dynamic Rio de Janeiro to embody this momentum. Its energy, diversity and spirit of innovation mirror the transformative forces shaping our field.”

The conference will be hosted by the Rio Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation with support from Rio de Janeiro’s Mayors Office and industry partners Grifa Filmes, Instituto Serrapilheira, LatAm Content Meeting, Rio Market and TV Brasil. It marks the first-ever WCSFP held in South America.

The selection of Rio de Janeiro as the host city comes as Brazil is set to become the second largest economy of connected TV and a top-three investor in digital content creation globally.
