The long-awaited regional conference and exhibition in Budapest is expected to become – according to the vision of the organisers – the definitive professional event of the Central and Eastern European region within a few years, allowing all interested players to review and process current issues, trends and problems of the media industry, to introduce new goals, initiatives, services and technical innovations and of course to arrange business meetings, discussions and networking.
