NATPE Europe Returns to Budapest

LOS ANGELES: For its 2016 edition NATPE Europe is returning to Budapest, with the event set for June 27 to 30 at the InterContinental Hotel.

In 2013, the market for Central and Eastern Europe buyers announced it was moving to Prague, where the last two editions have been held. The NATPE Budapest 2016 Market & Content Summit marks the show's return to its longtime home.
 
“As the most important CEE event, we look forward to returning to this great city in the heart of the region to host a newly reimagined event," said Rod Perth, president and CEO of NATPE. "We will build on our international assets with a completely fresh orientation that showcases content from every country within the CEE. While remaining a market for buying and selling, we will also be focused on discovering original programming to become the bridge between these countries and the broader international buying and distribution community."
 
JP Bommel, the managing director and COO of NATPE, added: “We view each CEE country as a partner, and we want them to feel that this is their market providing new opportunities that haven’t previously existed. They will do business, they will network, they will engage with global partners, and their local content will lead the way on our international stage."
