Countdown Begins To NATPE'S 50th Anniversary

Buyer registration numbers and exhibiting companies for NATPE’s 50th Anniversary market and conference in January are pacing ahead of recent years, according to Content First President and CEO Rod Perth.
The conference, which takes place January 28-30 at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach, is focused on the theme of "Beyond Disruption," with leaders from the television, technology and advertising industries all converging in one place to celebrate NATPE’s history while together examining the future of the industry. Additionally, NATPE has planned numerous special networking events and parties in celebration of its 50th Anniversary.
"The single most important ingredient for a vibrant market - and for deals to get done - is the number of qualified buyers that attend," said Mr. Perth. "I am very pleased to announce that registration for both international and domestic buyers is pacing about 31 percent ahead of where we were this time last year, which was itself a great year."
He noted the number of companies confirmed to exhibit is also pacing ahead of the same time last year, approaching 300 confirmed exhibitors to date, including every one of the major studios. Twenty-seven of those exhibitors will be attending NATPE for the first time. The Market Floor is completely sold out, as are all of the suites in the Tresor Tower. A few remaining suites are available in the other towers of the Fontainebleau Resort.
Mr. Perth also revealed numerous additions to the conference lineup.
