NXT STAGE - July 27-28, 2010

Hollywood, CA
 
NXT STAGE Conferences and Festivals are industry events targeting the Hollywood creative community as well as executives from the film/tv production sector. The premise of the conference is that there are significant number of trade shows/conferences that address the commercial and technical aspects of the content markets yet very few that focus on the creative/production aspects.
 
While the business models and technologies have rapidly evolved, the creative process has been left lagging behind. The writers, producers and proramming executives have not been told that they, too, are stakeholders in this new digital world. This is the opportunity for the platform solution providers and the distributors to bring the creative production community into our evolving digital world.
 
Get two days of sessions, speakers, networking activities, new content at Nxt Stage in July. We’re so confident you’ll be satisfied, that we guarantee it!
