About The Mixer

Welcome to The Media and Entertainment Mixer. Your hub for innovation in Media and Entertainment 

We bring real conversations to the media and entertainment industry through our Mixers - from Bristol to London, Amsterdam, Lisbon, and wherever the conversation needs to happen.
No scripts, no sales pitches, just honest talk about the future of our industry.

Where it all started

It started with a simple idea: put Bristol on the map as a hub for innovation in Media and Entertainment.

The Bristol Media & Entertainment Mixer (BMEM) was built to create something different — a space where people could swap ideas, make real connections, and actually enjoy doing it.

The response spoke for itself.

From day one, the Mixer drew in some of the biggest names in the industry — including Bitmovin, MediaKind, Accedo, and Harmonic — and quickly built momentum as a go-to space for honest, open conversation.

So we didn’t stop there.

London came next.
Same energy, bigger stage.

The London Mixer brought new voices into the room and pushed the format further — sharper conversations, broader perspectives, and a growing community at its core.

Then came Amsterdam.

Timed with IBC, it marked our first international step — bringing a more informal, people-first space into one of the industry’s biggest global moments.

And from there, it’s only grown.

Lisbon.
And beyond.

We’ll go wherever there’s appetite — wherever the industry needs space to connect properly.

Because this is more than a series of events.

It’s a growing movement.

The Media & Entertainment Mixer exists to create space — real, human space — for honest conversation, new ideas, and unexpected connections across the industry.

No barriers. No gatekeeping.
Just people who care about where this industry is going.

Bristol will always be home.
But this doesn’t stay in one place.

We’re building it together — city by city.

And we’re just getting started.

I am genuinely impressed by the stature they have attained in this industry, thanks to grit, hard work, creativity, etc. A really good event all around. Please do it again in future.”

  • “It was a lively event, free flowing and valuable - and importantly, pretty candid - information from senior people who have had the career highs and lows, who know their onions.”

  • “I really enjoyed this event. I've already told many colleagues and peers about how fresh it was compared to others. I hope the fresh feel stays.”

  • “Really enjoyed the scale of the event and the relaxed atmosphere - it made networking feel much easier than some of the larger industry events.”
