Fast Media At Cepic Conference 2022

Fast Media will attend the Cepic conference 2022 in Mallorca. The conference takes place from the 25th to the 27th of May.

At Cepic, professionals from the content licensing industry meet to network, learn and do business. it will be attended by about 500 people from 250 agencies. There will be seminars, social events and an area where both creators of content meet wit potential distribution partners to extend their markets.

It’s been a while since the event was held due to Covid restrictions and this is why we are going.  We will talk to our industry friends to about their experiences in the last few years, hope to find out more about the latest developments and opportunities, keep an eye on innovation and, finally, see if there are any synergies for the future with any of the companies attending.

Our creative toolkit keeps on growing in 2022 and Cepic provides a good way to meet everyone in one place in a concentrated time frame.
