New Europe Market

New Europe Market (NEM) is an annual marketing conference, market and screenings event held in Dubrovnik, and run by the Croatian company Mediavision Ltd.

The conference is addressed to FTAs, Pay-TV channels, cable operators, satellite operators, IPTV, production and distribution companies, media and marketing agencies and specialists. NEM focuses on the CEE region, but the event attendees come from all over the world.
