The new 501(c)(3) aims to establish Palm Beach County as an international destination where media, entertainment, luxury, finance and technology converge.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The International Media Festival of The Palm Beaches (IMFPB), a new 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated
to celebrating entertainment, culture and innovation, today announced its inaugural festival, scheduled
for April 13 to 15, 2027, in Palm Beach County, Florida. The festival aims to establish Palm Beach County
as a premier international destination where the media industries converge with luxury, finance,
technology and business.
The announcement follows an intimate, invitation-only launch dinner held November 11 at Tutto Mare
in Palm Beach, bringing together community leaders, distinguished guests and supporters to introduce
the festival's vision.
Co-founded by filmmaker, producer and media entrepreneur Christian Tureaud and Emmy Award
winning designer and producer Birgit C. Muller, IMFPB will celebrate six interconnected pillars: Film and
Television, Art, Music, Fashion, Sports, and Finance and Technology. The festival will bring together
filmmakers, artists, musicians, designers, athletes, entrepreneurs, investors and technology innovators
to encourage collaboration, create new opportunities and shape the future of media and
entertainment.

A Vision Rooted in Palm Beach County
"Having grown up in Palm Beach, I've witnessed firsthand the extraordinary transformation of Palm
Beach County over the years," said Christian Tureaud, Co-Founder of IMFPB. "Creating this festival is an
opportunity for me to give back to the community that helped shape my life. With Palm Beach County
emerging as Wall Street South and becoming an increasingly important center for business, finance
and technology, we have a unique opportunity to bring together the worlds of media, entertainment,
art, culture and innovation in a way that few destinations can."
"We envision a festival that feels both personal and international," said Birgit C. Muller, Co-Founder of
IMFPB. "Palm Beach County offers an extraordinary environment where fashion, luxury, film, art, music,
sports and business intersect. Our goal is to create meaningful connections between talent, cultural
leaders, and the people and organizations who can help bring their visions to life."
Where Media Meets Capital
Unlike traditional film festivals, IMFPB will connect the media and entertainment industries with the
capital and innovation driving their future, fostering educational programming, creative collaboration
and meaningful connections among talent, entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders. As a public
charity, IMFPB is committed to supporting educational initiatives and emerging creative talent, and to
working with local nonprofit and community organizations throughout the year.
Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, the oceanfront resort in Manalapan; SPEND IN, an international luxury
lifestyle publication; and the Community-Police Relations Foundation (CPRF), a nonprofit dedicated to
strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve, are among the
festival's early sponsors and partners. Additional programming, talent, venues and partners will be
announced in the coming months. For more information, visit https://palmbeachmediafest.org.
