About CinemaCon: The World's Biggest Theater Expo

Inside CinemaCon: Hollywood’s Biggest Movie Theater Industry Event

CinemaCon is the annual gathering of global movie theater owners, major Hollywood studios, and industry insiders—held every spring at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It’s where studios debut footage, unveil innovations, and set the tone for the year in exhibition.

CinemaCon includes blockbuster studio presentations, celebrity appearances, technology showcases, and panels with industry leaders. For theater pros, it’s where you see what’s next in cinema—and for movie fans, it’s often the first glimpse of upcoming releases.
