The outlook was much the same from attendees, who this year had dedicated screening and market days co-located at the Hilton Prague.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&ldquo;Budapest is a wonderful city and we had a great experience,&rdquo; said Perth of the event&rsquo;s previous home. &ldquo;We had a lot of very positive relationships there, but all things need to be refreshed at times.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe said that Prague was the clear choice when looking to relocate the market for a number of reasons, namely its accessibility and the facilities it offers. &ldquo;Unless something radically changes, we&rsquo;re back again next year,&rdquo; Perth shared with <em>World Screen<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThis week&rsquo;s event was more conference-driven than in years past, with a <a href=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/articles\/display\/2014-6-24-eur-natpeeurope-coproductions\">co-production summit<\/a> on Tuesday and a <a href=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/articles\/display\/2014-6-25-eur-natpeeurope-poland\">Celebration of Polish TV Programming luncheon<\/a> on Wednesday. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re trying to be thoughtful about the way we add conferences,&rdquo; said Perth. &ldquo;With the co-productions summit, we tried to make it not the same old co-pro conference with [griping] about the fact of getting financing. [Wednesday&rsquo;s] luncheon was also very successful.&rdquo; Perth added that there are plans to continue to ramp up the conference segment of the schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThough no official attendance figures were released, Perth said that there were &ldquo;more exhibitors than we&rsquo;ve ever had; we had 45 new exhibitors that have never been here before. We sold out every room in the hotel.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe number of buyers in attendance also had a notable uptick, which Perth said was part of a concentrated effort on behalf of the organization. &ldquo;We worked so hard on the buyer situation, and we will continue to do that; we&rsquo;re committed to it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs for what&rsquo;s to come at the next NATPE Europe, Perth said he&rsquo;d like to see a larger focus on digital. &ldquo;I think that this region is dying to hear about the impact of the growth of digital in the United States and how they can learn from it; it&rsquo;s still really in the early stages here [in Eastern Europe],&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;What I want to do next year is be able to attract some big, big names from the world of digital. That&rsquo;s an initial goal that we&rsquo;ll try for.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRAGUE: Today marks the end of NATPE Europe&rsquo;s four-day run in its new home in Prague, following a successful market that saw more attendees, more conferences and an overall positive sentiment about the relocation to the Czech capital.
