MESA to Sponsor Opening Party and Moderate Supply Chain Panel at PEVE
Story Highlights
Following last week’s announcement that MESA (Media & Entertainment Services Alliance) is to launch a European affiliate, headed by experienced industry specialist, Jim Bottoms, MESA has today confirmed that it will be hosting a supply chain panel at next week’s PEVE event in London.
Chaired by Guy Finley, Executive Director at MESA US, the panel will explore the increasing complexities associated with bringing digital entertainment content to the market in Europe. “While there is some commonality with the USA, the European supply chain has an additional raft of issues it needs to take care of” says Finley, “including all of the activities and processes based around localisation”. Digital was meant to yield some major advantages compared to physical media production and distribution but is this the reality? “That will be one of the key themes of the discussion” adds Finley, who will be joined by Jonathan Jowitt of Dolby Content Solutions and Ben Schofield an independent consultant who has been closely involved with UltraViolet.
On the evening prior to the opening of PEVE, MESA Europe will be welcoming people to the pre-PEVE drinks party on the evening of Monday 15th April to be held at the Crazy Bear Bar, Covent Garden. “This is the perfect time to launch MESA Europe and with so many MESA member companies gathering in London for the conference it seemed an ideal opportunity to host a launch party” said Bottoms.
As part of its sponsorship package MESA has negotiated a 10% discount for members registering for the event. (Quote “PEVE2013MESA” when registering online.)
