On Monday 23rd February 2026, alongside the excitement and momentum of MIP London and London Screenings, we were proud to co-host a special evening reception with Percy & Warren PR at The Little Violet Door in the heart of Soho.

 

Bringing the Industry Together

The week of MIP London and London Screenings is defined by momentum. Our aim was to create a setting that complemented that energy, a curated space for meaningful industry networking away from exhibition floors and formal panels. 

On Monday 23rd February 2026, amid the excitement of the industry’s biggest week, we were proud to co-host a special evening reception with Percy & Warren PR at The Little Violet Door in the heart of Soho.

The event brought together an exceptional group of guests from across the global TV and film community. With industry leaders, producers, distributors, commissioners, and creatives all in attendance, the evening provided a relaxed and welcoming space to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate the vibrant international content ecosystem that converges in London each year.

 

A Setting Designed for Connection

Set within the intimate and characterful surroundings of The Little Violet Door, the atmosphere reflected the spirit of collaboration, strength, and diversity of the TV & Film sector. Conversations flowed easily, new relationships were formed, and existing partnerships were strengthened, a reminder that even in an increasingly digital industry, in-person connection remains a critical driver of opportunity.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a memorable occasion, and especially to Percy & Warren for their partnership. The event was truly full of energy, bringing together such a dynamic and inspiring calibre of industry professionals who joined us during this key moment in the global content calendar. As the content landscape continues to evolve, opportunities like these to connect in person remain invaluable.

 

If you would like to join us for future industry events or find out more about our TV, Film, Entertainment and advisory expertise within the Creative Industries, we’d love to talk.
