Exhibitor Registration is now open for the 2009 American Film Market.
Ten Reasons Why You Should Exhibit At AFM 2009:
- Reach more than 1,500 Buyers from 70+ countries who represent billions of dollars in buyer power.
- See Buyers you won't see at other markets. More than 20% of buying companies at the AFM don’t go to Cannes.
- AFM Buyers are motivated and serious about buying new product. They’ve invested time and money to travel to the AFM.
- Markets deliver the best return on your marketing investment. Where else can you meet all the Buyers under one roof?
- Build your sales pipeline and cultivate new relationships. Do you really know EVERY Buyer?
- Films don't sell themselves. The best deals result from face-to-face contact.
- Unlike a festival, you have the opportunity for multiple offers because every Buyer will be there.
- The AFM is six months after Cannes, the longest gap between markets. Buyers will be ready to buy.
- Maintain and build your company's profile and brand. Your absence would be noticed by Buyers and the trade press.
- More centralized than Cannes, better weather than Berlin, the easiest market for Buyers and Sellers to do business.
