The film festival community is growing at an explosive rate with over 2,000 film festivals world wide and more cropping up each year. There has never been a better time to get involved to share information and network with this growing community.

IFFS is looking for accomplished and experienced professionals involved in film festival and the entertainment industry. The professionals that are best suited are those individuals who can share real world experience, discuss trends and issues in-depth, and outline best practices. The conference curriculum includes: funding & sponsorship, programming, operations & management, publicity & PR, digital technology, and acquisition & distribution. However, we are open to other ideas that will engage the immediate interest of the conference delegates.

The 2nd Annual IFFS Europe is the largest dedicated gathering of the European film festival community, which provides a platform for the community to explore ways to collaborate and promote the advancement of the film festival industry. This is the exclusive meeting place for industry professionals, vendors and those committed to the film festival and entertainment industry to dialogue with their peers, share insights and gain knowledge that will help grow film festivals and keep the industry thriving.

This year's IFFS Europe, taking place April 15-16, 2008, at The Cumberland Hotel in London, will have industry leaders discussing the latest trends in funding and sponsorship, programming, operations and management, publicity and public relations, acquisition and distribution, technology solutions, long-term planning and sustainable growth, and executive management.
