From June 14-17, 2026, British Columbia delegates will attend the Banff World Media Festival in Banff, Alberta.
The Banff World Media Festival is a premier international conference, marketplace, and home of the Rockie Awards, attracting the world’s top creators, producers, showrunners, talent, networks, studios, streamers, press, and media companies, and returns in 2026 with its 47th edition at the Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Alberta. With 50+ countries participating each year, it offers unparalleled access to major international decision makers across the full spectrum of global screen content.
Through the Passports to Markets program, Creative BC provides targeted travel support that enables B.C.-based creative media professionals to access these high-value opportunities. This investment helps local producers and companies expand their international networks, secure co-production and financing partnerships, and strengthen B.C.’s visibility and competitiveness in the global screen industry.
