One Month left to Submit Your Proposals

The deadline for the Avant Première 2026 Open Call is approaching! Submit your proposals by 25 September and help shape this year’s conference programme.

Let us know which topics, formats, and speakers you'd like to see at the next year's conference, and we'll help you make it a reality.

We are looking for forward-thinking ideas and innovations that showcase technological, financial, artistic, or organisational developments in the field of audiovisual performing arts. There are no restrictions on the format, whether it’s a panel discussion, a keynote, a presentation, a fireside chat, or something entirely different, the choice is yours.

After the end of the submission period, the IMZ Selection Committee will evaluate all entries and select those to be presented in the Avant Première 2026 conference programme. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by mid-October 2025.
