On March 19, or Day Two of ADFEST 2012, ADFEST will host a half-day summit for 40 of the top production company owners across the Asia Pacific. The World Producers Summit Asia will raise awareness of industry-wide problems for the purpose of elevating the effectiveness of the production business in the Asia Pacific. The forum is a closed door, strictly invitation only, with seats reserved specifically for registered delegates of ADFEST who are production companies’ business owners.
“The production industry in Asia Pacific is part of ADFEST and we support it wholeheartedly,” says Jimmy Lam, president of the ADFEST Working Committee. “It is critical that production companies work together to learn, evolve and embrace global market developments and benefit the industry as a whole and we believe the World Producers Summit will help this happen.”
The World Producers Summit Asia provides a forum for production company owners to gather and discuss specific problems and issues they have encountered in their countries. This forum offers every attendee valuable insights on the industry, as well as possible solutions to current and emerging business challenges.
Targeted at the region’s top production owners, the World Producers Summit Asia will also unveil the common interests that link production executives globally.
“Running a successful production company in 2012 means having the best possible understanding of new opportunities and threats to your company,” says Francois Chilot, president of Commercial Film Producers of Europe (CFP-E).
“How is digital media reshaping our business? How do we convince clients of the amazing value the commercials market brings them? This summit gives producers in the Asia Pacific the chance to learn from other production companies around the world.”
This partnership with the World Producers Summit and YDA cements ADFEST’s commitment to supporting the production industry by facilitating global conversations and networks.
