Early Momentum for NATPE’s Return to Budapest

LOS ANGELES: General registration is now open for NATPE Budapest 2016, which has already registered a triple-digit number of buyers.

The event will take place at the InterContinental Hotel from June 27 to 30. The market is returning to Budapest, after relocating to Prague for a few years. In addition to Hollywood studio screenings, the Market & Content Summit will feature a lineup of prominent local and international industry leaders headlining an expanded conference agenda. NATPE is currently accepting proposals for sessions and speakers, the deadline of which has been extended until March 7.

“We are excited about our forthcoming plans for the return of NATPE to the great city of Budapest,” commented JP Bommel, the managing director and COO for NATPE. “Early momentum looks robust with a significant number of buyers having already pre-registered. We are confident that this represents a strong indication that our decision to shift our focus towards local CEE producers and content is resonating well. We are also keen to receive ideas and speaker suggestions from both the local and international production and distribution communities so we can create a truly bespoke and relevant program for our Summit to enhance the market experience for all attendees.”
