2025 ANNUAL CONFERENCE 

We’re excited to announce that registration for the 2025 MFM Annual Conference is now open. The largest gathering of financial professionals in the media and entertainment industry is scheduled for May 18-21, 2025 at the Marriott Crystal Gateway Hotel in Arlington, VA – adjacent to Washington National Airport and just across the Potomac from the nation’s capital. 

The 2025 event will feature keynote presentations from industry, business, and economic leaders; 25 breakout sessions covering topics in every industry sector and financial discipline; 10 Member Network roundtables; dozens of best-in-class exhibitors in the Innovation Center; and one-of-a-kind opportunities to network with colleagues from across the country.

In a time of unprecedented upheaval, it has never been more important for financial professionals to strengthen their connections to the community and enhance their knowledge of the technological advances, changes in consumer behavior, entry of new competitors, and outlook for M&A activity that are combining to reinvent the industry in real time. The MFM Annual Conference is the one place you can achieve all of these goals.
