NATPE has announced that it will be moving its NATPE||Budapest market to Prague in 2014 and will be giving the market a broader name--NATPE||Europe--for the 2014 event that will take place June 23-26 at the Hilton Prague Hotel.
"Our move from Budapest to Prague represents a deep and ongoing commitment to the EEC countries and their growing television and content businesses," explained NATPE president and CEO Rod Perth in a statement. "We believe in eastern and central Europe, and this move represents a chance to refresh this yearly television market institution. Budapest has been a wonderful location for many years, and after careful consideration and many conversations with our customers, the consensus was that Prague will provide more flexibility that will make NATPE||Europe an even better market."
"We are incredibly appreciative of all of our friends in Budapest that made us feel welcome for so many years," he added.
