Following the first round of announcements, the second round of confirmed speakers continues to expand this year’s programme with additional perspectives and expertise.

· Bartosz Witak, General Manager, SVP of CEE, MENA and Turkey, BBC Studios

· Cassandra Yang, CEO, RisingJoy

Keynotes and speakers will be exchanging insights, sharing experiences, and exploring new opportunities in content and TV and media landscape.

Jens Richter, Global CEO, Commercial & International at Fremantle and one of the confirmed keynote speakers, commented: “I am 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 am really looking forward to coming to NEM. It’s a great place at a great time of the year, and there is always opportunity to have in-depth conversations with interesting people. It‘s good to be back,” said Jan Maxa, Director of Content and Production, FTV Prima, Czechia

“What gets made, and how well it’s made, is ultimately what determines whether audiences stay or go. In CEE we have real creative assets: world-class local talent, formats that connect with audiences in ways imported content often doesn’t, a track record that deserves to be talked about beyond the region. The challenge for all of us is backing those assets with enough conviction. That’s the conversation I want to be part of at NEM,“ added Igor Draguzet, Chief Content Officer, CME
