SPA Connect is the business end of SCREEN FOREVER. This is where buyers and sellers connect to discuss creative projects, develop deals, forge alliances, and build relationships. 

Responsible for over $300M in business annually, SPA Connect is critical to the health of the local sector and the ongoing strengthening of international business. 

SPA Connect consists of three distinct strands:  1) Online Global Market 2) In-Person Market and 3) Global Connect program. 

SPA Connect is exclusive to all Gold Coast 3-Day Badge holders. Some strands are subject to application.

Ahead of SCREEN FOREVER 40 and the SPA Connect In-Person Market (28–30 April 2026), we are pleased to present a curated series of Market Briefing Webinars, designed to help producers prepare for pitching and maximise opportunities at the conference.

Across four briefings, SPA will be in conversation with key international guests participating in SCREEN FOREVER 40 and taking pitches through the SPA Connect Market, offering firsthand insight into current priorities, strategies and what decision-makers are looking for in new projects.
