– Limited to approximately 10 delegates

Delegates selected for the mission will receive:

– Artist & Industry Pass to VIFF AMP

The registration fee helps support delegation activities and administration.
Please note that delegates are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and meals unless otherwise specified.

Why Attend?

VIFF AMP offers an excellent opportunity to:

– Build relationships with Canada’s film and television community
– Meet global music decision makers in media (including film, TV, ads, games)
– Make direct connections with filmmakers, editors, brand executives as well as music supervisors
– Learn how music is discovered and licensed for screen productions
– Better understand the sync licensing landscape
– Expand your professional network through curated industry events
– Position your company for future collaboration opportunities

This mission is intended for companies looking to make strategic, long-term connections within the screen industry rather than seeking immediate licensing opportunities.
