NATPE is a very respectable organization among many American companies. Can you tell us about the NATPE exhibition and educational activities?
NATPE conducts two COLLEGE CAREER WORSHOPS in different cities in the US each year. The next one is in San Diego this fall. We get a group of 150-200 Communications students and provide a full day workshop, presented by TV professionals in their city - people who provide first hand experience and information that the students can use to help guide their career path. Also at each NATPE, we host 40 College Professors from around the country and we provide them with a full day of panels on the day before NATPE opens, then we give them free registrations to NATPE. We also provide them with actual rating books to bring back and show their students.
NATPE launched several new events in the US - Boot Camp and NextGen TV Festival. What are the objectives of these events?
BOOTCAMP is designed for 200 independent producers from all over the country, and provides them with a 2-day primer on how to create and sell a pitch, how to sell themselves, and how to negotiate the process of creating and selling their shows.
We met many American companies at DISCOP 2006 that came for the first time to the market. How can DISCOP help American companies with their promotion in Eastern Europe ?
DISCOP can help American companies understand how Eastern Europe is changing, what the needs are, what the future looks like, and most of all, what opportunities exist.
