AFM Returning to Los Angeles Nov. 10-15, 2026
January 28, 2026
The American Film Market will again be held at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles for its 2026 edition and will take place Nov. 10–15, organizers announced.
“The industry response to our Los Angeles homecoming in 2025 confirmed that the Fairmont venue, coupled with screenings at the AMC Century City 15, was the best setting to support the full scope of the Market’s business activity,” read a statement from organizers. “In addition to the sophisticated appeal of the hotel, it allows you and other participants easy access and connection to Los Angeles and the full ecosystem for production, financing, distribution, the agencies, and creative leadership.
“AFM has long served as a premier global marketplace where the film and television industry, representing more than 85 countries, comes together to foster relationships, discover new independent projects destined for audiences around the world, and drive meaningful dealmaking. Building on the momentum of last year, we approach AFM 2026 with optimism and a clear focus on delivering a Market that reflects the strength of this community and actively supports its future.”
Registration opens March 31 for returning exhibitors, April 13 for new exhibitors, and June 23 for buyers and attendees. Hotel reservations open for registered participants June 23.
