Singapore, Mar 21, 2013 – (ACN Newswire) – The way content is now delivered has rapidly advanced in leaps and bounds. Demand from viewers for better content on multiple platforms has prompted many producers in Asia to seek ways to produce good and right content that has global appeal. With the massive amount of content out there, good quality content has become essential in order to stand out among the competition, as well as pull in and retain viewers’ attention.

“The importance of producing good content and distributing it effectively has become extremely important as we see significant changes to the way content is being created, monetised and experienced. The Creative Content Production Conference continues to re-invent its programme to keep up with the evolving landscape and industry development. We are pleased to introduce new sessions this year, in addition to maintaining a host of high-profile speakers,” says Lindy Wee, Director of PR & Conferences from the event organiser.

Packed with power panels, case studies and exclusive interview

Themed “Producing and Distributing Successful Content in Asia”, the two-day conference will address the challenge of producing appealing and high-quality content for global audiences through a series of new topics and speakers including a ‘Producers Dialogue’ that was developed to serve as an additional avenue for participants to address and anticipate the upcoming trends and demands of the industry.

Mike Lake, CEO of Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios will kick-start ‘What is Great Content’ and ‘How to Distribute Them Effectively’ on Day 1, with an Opening Keynote: Capitalising on the Opportunities of the Creative Industries and How Asia is Positioning Itself Globally. The topic will be further debated during a power panel and case study presentations.

According to Mike Lake, the conference will help to educate and create a greater understanding of current and relevant issues, and explore ways to jointly grow and shape the future of the whole communications ecosystem. “I look forward to engaging the show’s exhibitors and visitors in a productive and interactive discourse, and share with them our efforts and experiences in bringing a world-class state-of-the-art film and television studio production facility to not only Malaysia but also the ASEAN region,” states Lake.

Sourcing for funding is an important consideration for every producer in Asia.

Jouko Ahvenainen, Chairman and Co-Founder of Grow VC International will follow with his session about how crowd sourcing and funding can work.
