ADFEST is delighted to
confirm that the World Producers Summit is returning to Thailand on Thursday 21st
March as part of ADFEST 2019. This exclusive summit is an opportunity for
Executive Producers in the Asia Pacific and Middle East to get together to
discuss the trends and challenges facing their businesses.
The World Producers
Summit at ADFEST 2019 will be chaired by Steve Davies, Chief Executive of the
Advertising Producers Association (APA) and Executive Vice President of the
Commercial Film Producers of Europe (CFPE) together with Francois Chilot,
Honorary Chairman of CFPE and President of the Young Director Award.
“The purpose of the
World Producers Summit is to bring the region’s top producers together with the
goal of finding solutions to common issues. This is a chance to get ahead with
your knowledge. Is there something happening to the production business in the
US? China? The UK? Or Brazil? If these changes come into affect in your market,
how can you be ready for the opportunities that might bring?” explains Davies.
The first World
Producers Summit at ADFEST was held in 2012 and provides a forum for production
company owners and stakeholders in the Asia Pacific and Middle East to discuss
specific issues they encounter as the industry evolves and globalizes. It’s a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights
from peers and brainstorm possible solutions to current and emerging business
challenges. The World Producers Summit also takes place in Cannes every June
and is created by the Association of Independent Commercial Producers, CFPE and
APA.
“It is not often you
get EPs and Producers from all around Asia in one room. It was good to discuss
the issues each market faces and share insights on how one another are dealing
with it. It was also great to make some more contacts from other countries as
we look to production solutions outside of our markets,” says Corey Esse,
Managing Director and Executive Producer at FINCH in Australia, who attended
last year’s Summit.
The World Producers
Summit at ADFEST 2019 is open to just 40 owners or employees of an independent
production company, with only one representative per company permitted. Agency
subsidiaries are not eligible. It’s free to attend, but you must be a
registered delegate of ADFEST 2019.
