We're delighted to announce CinemaNext's return to Cinema Czech, taking place on 26-27 May 2026 in Prague. Now firmly established in the Central European cinema calendar, the conference brings together exhibitors, distributors, and technology partners to share insights, trends, and innovations shaping the region's cinema industry.
This year's event spans multiple venues across the Czech capital. Day one (26 May) opens at CineStar Černý Most from 10:00 to 17:30 in the TDL hall, followed by an evening gathering at AV MEDIA SYSTEMS in Praha 10. Day two (27 May) begins at Signal Space, the digital art gallery in Praha 1, before moving to CineStar Anděl in Praha 5 for the closing sessions.
Meet Our Team
Our team will be on hand throughout both days to discuss your cinema's specific needs:
- Araceli Vaello, Vice President, CinemaNext Solutions
- Walter Wiesner, EMEA Sales Manager, Seating & Outfitting Premium Solutions
- Miloš Tourek, Country Manager, CinemaNext Czech
Hosted by AV Media and CinemaNext Czech, this is the ideal opportunity to discuss local projects directly with Miloš and our expert engineers from CinemaNext Czech. Walter returns to Cinema Czech to continue the conversation on cinema seating and fit-out, with the latest developments in recliners, premium formats, and auditorium refurbishment available to discuss on-site.
Featured Presentation: Reducing Financial Pressure Through Technology
Araceli Vaello will deliver a presentation tackling a question every Czech exhibitor is asking right now: how can technology genuinely ease the financial pressure on cinema operators, rather than add to it?
Drawing on CinemaNext's experience working with exhibitors across EMEA, Araceli will outline practical, deployable solutions that help cinemas reduce operating costs, streamline workflows, and free up staff time. The focus will be firmly on measurable impact (energy savings, automation gains, smarter resource allocation), rather than technology for its own sake.
Why Attend Cinema Czech 2026?
Cinema Czech remains one of the most useful gatherings for anyone operating in the Central European market. The programme blends honest conversation about commercial challenges with concrete examples of what's working elsewhere, and the format makes it genuinely possible to have substantive conversations rather than fleeting introductions. For CinemaNext, it's also a welcome chance to reconnect with long-standing partners in the region.
