With more than 200 confirmed buyers and the participation of top decision-makers, the event reinforces its role as a strategic hub for the TV industry in Central and Eastern Europe.
NEM Dubrovnik 2026 is taking a major step forward, strengthening its place on the international market calendar: its 13th edition will bring together more than 200 content buyers, many of them senior executives with direct decision-making power, raising the profile of the event and reinforcing its real impact on business generation within the audiovisual industry.
Taking place from June 8 to 11 in southern Croatia, the event will once again turn Dubrovnik into the epicenter of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) television ecosystem.
Organizers have already unveiled an impressive list of expected buyers, highlighting both the scale and strategic relevance of the market.
Unlike many other industry gatherings, NEM Dubrovnik stands out for attracting senior-level professionals directly responsible for acquisitions, programming, and content strategy, including Chief Content Officers, heads of acquisitions, and programming directors. This makes the event a place where not only networking happens, but where real decisions are made and deals begin.
Among the most prominent buyers attending are Anita Nemes (MTVA), Anna Borys (TVN Warner Bros. International Television), Antonia Totova (The Walt Disney Company), Elzbieta Saciuk (Telewizja Polska), Gábor Fischer (TV2 Média Csoport), Igor Draguzet (CME), Jana Semjonova (Latvian Television), Katalin Radóczy (AMC Networks International), Katarina Slovakova (Slovak Television and Radio), Katharina Bigos (Network4 Media Group), Kelly Hornsby (Hearst Networks EMEA), Nelly Lunghino (Nova Broadcasting Group), Nick Christoforou (Antenna Group), Simona Goddardova (FTV Prima), and Slawomir Cyra (Cyfrowy Polsat), among others.
The list continues to grow as additional participants are confirmed.
A Regional Hub with International Reach
Beyond its regional focus, NEM Dubrovnik continues to establish itself as a key meeting point for both global and local players across the entire value chain, including public broadcasters, commercial TV groups, pay-TV platforms, telecom operators, and major international distributors.
This diversity positions the market not only as the leading event in the CEE region, but also as a strategic gateway for the global TV industry seeking opportunities in these territories.
Confirmed companies include 1+1 Media, A1 Group, AMC Networks International, Antenna Entertainment, ARTE France, Beta Film, Canal+, CME, Croatian Radiotelevision, Deutsche Telekom, HBO Europe, Paramount Global Content Distribution, SPI International (a Canal+ company), Warner Bros. Discovery, ZDF Studios, and TVN Warner Bros. International Television, among many others.
In June 2026, Dubrovnik will once again become the center of the European TV industry, focused on high-level networking, business opportunities, and trend analysis.
