Cinema United’s Director of Membership and Global Affairs Erin Von Hoetzendorff attended UNIC Cinema Days 2025 in Brussels on November 20 and 21.
The opening day offered a broad overview of key industry themes, and it include UNIC Women’s Cinema Leadership Programme session, which spotlighted professional development, leadership pathways, and the importance of diverse voices shaping the future of exhibition. The day also featured several panels and presentations on the state of cinema in Europe, emerging issues, and strategic opportunities that align closely with Cinema United’s own priorities, including training, accessibility, sustainability.
The second day featured Technology Lab sessions, which explored cinema technology lifecycles, cybersecurity, operational efficiency, PLF innovations, and future-focused technical infrastructure. UNIC produced a truly outstanding event, and Cinema United appreciated the chance to connect with so many of our international members and partners. Events like this strength relationships and created a deeper alignment with the global exhibition community.
