Dear Colleagues,

Today, we are experiencing the most significant revolution in the selling of audiovisual content - new platforms are being launched, the number of audiovisual companies is growing, broadcasters and distributors are in search of high quality content …

Taking into account a contemporary situation, we have developed the World Content Market, an effective face-to-face marketplace, which is in turn, in its concept with contemporary changes in the industry.

I explored many beautiful European cities for our new market venue, but Prague, one of the most beautiful and charismatic European metropolises , was my final choice.

Many professionals approved my choice. Located in the very heart of Europe, a birthplace of Oscar-winning film directors, a cradle of many television productions and Hollywood motion pictures, Prague can be easily reached by executives from any European country, as well as a very attractive city for our American and Asian participants who dream of traveling through old mysterious European cities.

The idea of our new market is based on pre-arranged meetings between acquisition and sales executives. Our event works as a professional business-to-business club where decision makers meet, where their needs and interests will match, and where their meetings are pre-arranged.

The World Content Market 2008 is our first market!

I personally worked more than 10 months in preparation of our event by keeping in touch with professionals from the audiovisual industry around the globe, and they supported my new initiative.

Our participants will travel to Prague from Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan!

It is an enormous pleasure to welcome globally recognized companies from the USA, Latin America, Canada, Europe and Asia in 50 suites on two floors of our market. We also have 8 National Pavilions: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, China, German Documentaries, Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Ukraine.

Our Market Screenings and Official Guide include more than 1000 audiovisual products from many countries where you are able to find programs and movies of all genres.

Altogether, we anticipate the attendance of more than 600 delegates from TV channels, production and distribution companies from 56 countries including over 400 buyers from 52 countries!

I am sure you will appreciate the eclectic geography of our new market.
