Jens Richter, Global CEO of Commercial & International at Fremantle and one of the confirmed keynote speakers, said: “I’m delighted to be part of NEM this year and to have the opportunity to deliver a keynote. It’s a privilege to join such an influential gathering of industry leaders, and we look forward to sharing our perspective and contributing to the conversations shaping the future of our sector.”
“I’m really looking forward to attending NEM. It’s a great place at a wonderful time of year, and there are always opportunities to have meaningful conversations with interesting people. It’s good to be back!” said Jan Maxa, Director of Content and Production at FTV Prima, Czech Republic.
“What gets produced—and how well it is produced—ultimately determines whether audiences stay or leave. In Central and Eastern Europe, we have truly valuable creative assets: world-class local talent, formats that connect with audiences in ways imported content often cannot, and a track record that deserves recognition beyond the region. The challenge for all of us is to back those assets with enough conviction. That’s the conversation I want to be part of at NEM,” said Igor Draguzet, Chief Content Officer at CME.
