Rio2C 2027: film, music and the creative industries

Rio2C brings together the creative industries, combining film, music, new technologies and opportunities to find partners for projects. It takes place at Cidade das Artes from 12 to 17 April 2027. Several formats share the event, so a professional delegate’s visit will differ from a day at the festival programme.

Conference, project markets and Festivalia

The Summit and conference explore the creative economy, communications and innovation. The project markets bring together people working in audiovisual production, music, creative solutions and publishing. Authors and companies can choose discussions relevant to their work, whether they want to present an idea or meet potential partners.

Festivalia is aimed mainly at students, early-career professionals and people looking for inspiration. The organiser describes musical performances, games, virtual reality, talks and workshops. Choose a day and format to suit your interests; you may not need to attend all six days.

Tickets and age requirements

As of 23 October 2026, the official website says that ticket sales for 2027 will open later. It lists different age requirements: the Summit, conference and markets are for people aged 18 and over. Festivalia has no general age restriction, although children aged 14 or younger must be accompanied. Check the terms for your chosen format when its tickets become available.

Journeys to Cidade das Artes

If you are staying in Rio, give Hola Taxi Cidade das Artes as your destination, along with your visit date and hotel address. For a team, add the passenger count and the time of your first meeting. A return after a business session may need a different plan from one after a musical performance.
