MIDPOINT HOMECOMING 2026

Networking platform
Upcoming

MIDPOINT HOMECOMING, a reunion and networking event, is designed for all MIDPOINT alumni who have participated in our programs since 2010. The program features projects and talent showcases, curated networking sessions, and workshops

Meet. Connect. Inspire.

MIDPOINT HOMECOMING is a unique alumni reunion and networking event designed to bring together our vibrant community of alumni and tutors. This is your opportunity to reconnect, showcase your projects, share your ideas, and expand your professional network—all in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. 

 

What will you experience:

  • Connect with fellow alumni and consult with MIDPOINT tutors in an informal yet professional setting
  • Present your project (or yourself) in a safe and non-competitive environment
  • Join exclusive workshops
  • Meet producers of our pilot MIDPOINT Focus Young Adults series program and see their project showcase
  • Offer your own session (workshop, masterclass)
  • Join curated & efficient networking activities
  • Enjoy a safe, friendly space with time to work, share, and have fun

Ways to participate: 

  • Talents’ Rendezvous – showcase yourself as a writer, script consultant, or development executive
  • Works in Development – Features – alumni projects or new projects in late development
  • Works in Development – Series – alumni projects or new projects in late development
  • Works in Progress Forum – alumni features or shorts in post-production
  • Networking participant – join the program, connect, and engage without presenting
  • Climate & Transformative Narrative Workshop - project-based creative lab

Program

The program of the three-day event (April 18-20, 2026) is designed to help MIDPOINT alumni reconnect with their peers and tutors, providing a unique opportunity to present projects, express themselves, and network effectively. We will update the program regularly.
