Rod Perth, NATPE’s new president and CEO, commented, "It has been my pleasure to meet representatives of so many international companies doing business here in Budapest. With the number of new productions being reduced because of lower budgets and the continued proliferation of digital and online platforms, high-quality programming of all types is becoming even more sought after throughout the CEE region and beyond. By listening to delegates here this week, my aim is to continue to make this very relevant and unique market even more valuable to all attendees in the coming years."

Next year’s NATPE Budapest will be held from June 26 to 28. The organizer’s Miami event will take place January 28 to 30, when NATPE will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
