NATPE to Relocate European Market to Prague

LOS ANGELES: NATPE's event previously held in Budapest is moving to Prague in 2014, under the new banner NATPE||Europe.

The event will take place June 23 to 26 at the Hilton Prague Hotel. NATPE||Europe will now see all market and screening activities take place under one roof.

 "Our move from Budapest to Prague represents a deep and ongoing commitment to the EEC countries and their growing television and content businesses,” said Rod Perth, the president and CEO of NATPE. “We believe in eastern and central Europe, and this move represents a chance to refresh this yearly television market institution. Budapest has been a wonderful location for many years, and after careful consideration and many conversations with our customers, the consensus was that Prague will provide more flexibility that will make NATPE||Europe an even better market.”

 "We are incredibly appreciative of all of our friends in Budapest that made us feel welcome for so many years,” he continued.
