CinemaNext is a proud Gold sponsor of the 2026 UK Cinema Association Annual Conference taking place on 12-13 May at the Vue Cinema, London Westfield, with the CinemaNext UK and CinemaNext Solutions teams attending.
On Wednesday 13 May, our VP Solutions, Araceli Vaello, will be sharing practical insights on energy savings for cinemas, a topic close to our hearts, and a reflection of our commitment to equipping cinema operators with actionable ideas, whatever resources they have available.
You'll find our CinemaNext UK and Solutions teams on the ground: Richard Mitchell, Patrick von Sychowski, Andre Mort, Rod Wheeler, and Araceli Vaello.
This year's conference, themed "Retention, Reach, Revenue: Growing Cinema Audiences," comes at a crucial time for the UK cinema sector as it continues its recovery journey and looks toward a more successful future. The two-day event will showcase innovation across all aspects of the cinema experience, from programming and marketing to audience development and technology.
In addition to CinemaNext's presentation, the conference will feature insights from industry leaders who are already implementing innovative approaches, drawing from successful examples both within the UK and internationally. The goal is to provide cinema operators with practical ideas they can apply to their own venues, regardless of available resources, something that is a guiding principle for CinemaNext’s work in the UK and across Europe.
