Screening and Q&A with lead cast by Sony Pictures Television, a panel about NEM\u2019s past 10 years, insights by Frank Spotnitz and Maria Rua Aguete, Eutelsat party and so much more<\/em><\/p>\n

Dubrovnik, 6th June 2023<\/strong> \u2013 CEE\u2019s favorite TV market with a view, NEM Dubrovnik 2023<\/a>, started on June 5th<\/sup> after TV industry leaders from across the world arrived in Dubrovnik, Croatia.<\/p>\n

Until June 8th<\/sup>, Dubrovnik is the central location for TV industry professionals, decision makers and buyers interested in doing TV business combined with inspirational keynote speeches, <\/strong>informative panel discussions <\/strong>and presentations<\/strong> along with premieres<\/strong> and networking <\/strong>among participants and guests in a comfortable setting.<\/p>\n

Bigger than ever, the jubilee edition started with a record number of participants, exhibitors, and sponsors. Networking was opened with a coffee break provided by OIV digital signal and networks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frank Spotnitz<\/strong>, CEO & Executive Producer, Big Light Productions <\/strong>and one of NEM\u2019s favourite frequent visitors was introduced as the first of a record 11 keynote speakers. Mr. Spotnitz shared insights into the ever-changing TV industry: \u201cIf we are to improve European television, then it seems to me that a good first step is having core values that we know we are striving to live up to. We need more practical, concrete strategies put into place \u2013 in all territories in Europe, but especially in smaller countries where resources are in shorter supply. That lack of economic power might may be seen as a handicap, but it can also be seen as an advantage \u2013 places where change is easier to embrace because of their size.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Presentation FAST Revenues<\/strong> by Maria Rua Aguete, Omdia<\/strong> followed at the Panel Room where data predictions for FAST business were first announced for CEE – there is less consumer interest in FAST since pay TV is still growing and traditional free-to-air viewing is also strong. In Eastern Europe FAST revenues will double in the next 5 years, reaching $42m by 2028.<\/p>\n

The first day was also a tribute to ten exciting years of building New Europe Market (NEM). During the panel 10 Years of NEM <\/strong>sponsored by Mediavision<\/strong>, Sanja Bo\u017ei\u0107-Ljubi\u010di\u0107, CEO of Pickbox, Mediatranslations, Mediavision and NEM<\/strong>, gathered long-standing supporters and friends of NEM:<\/p>\n
