After its hugely successful debut at CEPIC 2025, our Speed Dating sessions are officially returning for a second year, this time in Valencia!
Launched in Juan-les-Pins and brilliantly managed by Paul Seheult, with generous sponsorship from PICSEL and Bikini Lists, Speed Dating quickly became one of the highlights of the conference. The sessions were lively, fast-paced, and, at times, delightfully chaotic, exactly the kind of energy that made them so memorable. Over 60 delegates took part, sparking countless new connections and conversations that extended well beyond the event.
In just one hour each morning, attendees had the chance to meet a wide range of industry peers, from agencies and tech providers to distributors and creatives. The format proved the perfect icebreaker for both new and returning participants, helping everyone make the most of their CEPIC experience.
The enthusiasm was clear from the start, and the feedback couldn’t have been better. What began as an experiment has now become a fixture in the CEPIC programme.
For CEPIC 2026, we’re bringing Speed Dating back, with even more opportunities to connect. Each morning, delegates can kickstart their day with an hour of quick introductions, laughter, and new ideas. It’s a relaxed yet productive way to meet fresh faces, explore collaborations, and set the tone for another great day at the conference.
We know many people missed out last year, so this time, we’ll be encouraging early sign-ups to make sure everyone who wants to take part can join in the fun.
👉 If you have any questions or would like to express your interest early, please contact cepic2026@cepic.org.
We can’t wait to bring this lively, community-driven format to Valencia 2026, and to see what new partnerships and ideas come from another great round of Speed Dating!
