DISCOP™ NEW TECH TV

A NEW EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO TV OPERATORS FROM EMERGING MARKETPLACES

In these difficult times in developed markets, we have decided to launch in Budapest the first edition of DISCOP NEWTECH TV, a 2-Day B2B exhibition promoting new technologies designed to enhance the relationship between viewers and TV content - and specifically aimed at television professionals involved in the emerging marketplaces of Central & Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia, and ready to embrace digital technology and Interactivity.

With 300 million viewers, these markets are booming! And with TV advertising revenues and disposable income growing fast in these countries, television operators are competing to build brands, bolster audiences and boost bottom lines.

Most important: they need your products & services !

30 COMPANIES TO MEET WITH KEY TELEVISION PLAYERS FROM 27 COUNTRIES UNDER ONE ROOF !

However, despite the fast development of these television marketplaces, any given country cannot occupy too much of your time or resources. In the meantime, you need to establish relationships with the right players who must understand the unique quality of your products and services before making a purchase or placing a bid.

That's why DISCOP NEWTECH TV 2002 has been designed to provide 30 international companies - the SELLERS - with the possibility to meet over 2 days of intense networking with qualified key players from 27 Central & Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Caucasus whose combined potential can represent as much as 20% of your export revenues, and perhaps considerably more of your growth and profits within a few years.

Business will be generated without the cost or complications of traveling to these 27 countries, identifying the players and getting access to business. Instead SELLERS will have the undivided attention of qualified television executives - the BUYERS - representing television operators from :

HOW DOES DISCOP NEWTECH TV ENSURE MEETINGS WITH QUALIFIED BUYERS ONLY?

For the last 12 years, we have been helping international television companies access business in Central & Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia. Our company maintains the most accurate database of television executives operating in these 27 countries thanks to a network of field agents trained to monitor the local television marketplaces and identify business opportunities on behalf of our clients.

Following this initial research, 200 BUYERS representing these +/- 100 television operators were identified as being interested in meeting with a select group of international world-class companies with the ability to respond to their immediate needs, and ready to do business in the part of the world they represent.

Identified BUYERS have the following job responsibilities, and some of them are already registered and can be found on our www.discop.com in the LIST OF PARTICIPANTS SECTION ( contact our office if you don't have a current LOGIN and PASSWORD to access our web site ):

At the same time, each confirmed participant will be able to use our ONLINE MEETING REQUEST & CONFIRMATION SERVICE to better prepare for the 2-day exhibition. Our goal is to guarantee each of the 30 exhibiting SELLERS a minimum of 25 meetings - per delegate - with BUYERS.
