The largest gathering of the TV industry in the CEE region starts in only a week
Zagreb, June 9th, 2016 – The fourth edition of New Europe Market, a market held in Dubrovnik where TV industry professionals gather once a year, starts in only a week, on Tuesday, June 14th.
After three exceptional years, NEM 2016 will once again prove it’s influence and importance in the media industry in the CEE region and the world. Ten thematic panels, two special presentations by some of the leading companies in the world, a keynote presentation held by a TV giant, an exclusive interview with the creators of one of the most prestigious documentaries in the region, a world premier of a long awaited series, countless networking opportunities and unforgettable parties – these are only some of the indicators of what to expect from NEM 2016.
As I always say, a project like this needs three to five years for it to be recognized. And here we are with the fourth edition being right ahead of us with a response as big as ever. There are more companies and participants than ever before and what makes me very happy is the fact that there are more companies from Central and Eastern Europe, regions that NEM has its focus on. – said Sanja Božić-Ljubičić, NEM’s founder.
New Europe Market’s panels are well known as prestigious discussions where top industry influencers touch base on current industry questions.
