CineLATAM (formerly ShowEast)

CineLATAM 2027 runs 13–15 September in Miami. Film Expo Group had not published 2027 registration as of 23 October 2026. Registration is online only, through the registration information page, and stays open until the last day of the show.

For reference, a full 2026 registration cost $795 before 16 June, $895 from 17 June to 19 September and $995 after that. It covered seminars, screenings, studio presentations, all meals and the showcase. One-day passes were sold on site only. Groups of five or more paid registrations, and first-time attendees, could ask for special rates. Refunds requested by 21 August were paid less a $150 fee. Every registrant must sign a non-disclosure agreement covering the studio presentations.

The 2026 host hotel was the Loews Coral Gables, with discounted delegate rates. Film Expo Group says to book only through its hotels page, not through third-party housing agents.

You have the right event under a different name. For decades ShowEast was the autumn gathering for American exhibitors and studios. The Film Expo Group has retired the ShowEast brand and relaunched it as CineLATAM, focused entirely on the Latin American theatrical market.

The reasoning is straightforward. North America was already well served by CinemaCon in the spring, while Latin America — young audiences, growing screen counts, a real appetite for local-language production — had no convention of its own. Rather than run a second North American event, the slot was repointed.

The practical consequence: if you are a US exhibitor who attended ShowEast for the domestic studio relationships, that function now sits with CinemaCon. If your business touches Latin America, this is now the event that serves it.

CineLATAM is held in Florida — Coral Gables in the Miami area — in September, which keeps it reachable from both North and South America. The exhibitor base is drawn from across the region.

Because the event is newly rebranded, dates and venue are worth confirming with the Film Expo Group directly rather than relying on the older ShowEast listings that still circulate.
