Organizers Stated There Existed no Plan, on Behalf of the Much Watched
CConference, to Abandon Its Former Digs the Seaport Hotel
Altogether, the Landmark Russian Media and Tech Summit Has Long Sought to
Become Even More Appealing, Attract High Value New York Investors
BOSTON, May 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, EuraMedia organizers, after
considering postponement in order to keep up with increasing demands of the
growing conference, decided to firmly set the conference dates during the early
summer.
'On one hand,' said an IDEA Media employee, 'It was becoming clear that the
growth of the conference demanded even more resources and attention. We were
unsure if we could provide that, especially with the eye of the media so
seemingly focused. We were also very concerned about logistics. However, we
found an ideal solution.'
The conference, which has long touted itself as a Boston event, decided to
maintain a compromise, executing its much anticipated eFashion Party in the Bay
State in June, to a largely televised audience, but moving its core operations
to the Foxwoods Resort and Casino, situated in Connecticut, between New York
City and Boston.
Organizers expect the move to the Indian reservation-come-gambling haven to
attract more of the New York investment community, especially those seeking to
boldly and actively make investments in the media, television, and
communications industries in the region. According to some, the Boston
investment community is a bit focused on a few certain companies, usually part
of funds and usually public, reflecting the city's austerity, and New York
investors tend to bring an added boldness and are extremely focused, if a bit
more reckless at times. 'I love the mix and the interaction,' said IDEA
Director Matthew Goldstein.
The move also allows for a broader range of movement and division of seminars,
easier filming procedures, and, perhaps most attractive to guests seeking to
work and play simultaneously, access to private gambling facilities, currently
outlawed in Moscow and much of the states, luxury on-site shopping with use of
a value-added Foxwoods EMedia Diamond Card, given out only to VIP Summit
attendees, the option to stroll about scenic, rural Connecticut, and full
access to the resort's luxury pool, gym, and sauna facilities.
The MGM Grand Theatre, where artists already announced by EM organizers will be
joined by the likes of Seal and others, will also be a major plus to the awards
ceremony and UK-US-Russia golf tournament being organized by the resort will
provide even deeper networking opportunities.
'Of course,' said Goldstein, 'The fear is always to give too much glitz and
glam and obscure the main purpose of the summit. However, Foxwoods allows us
to do concurrent trade shows for media buying and selling as well as exposition
of new technologies for investment, over two days straight, as opposed to
alternating them. Likewise. the environment is as open or enclosed as a
particular guest needs it to be. There is room for everyone and the amount and
type of space that they are accustomed to. Likewise, there is opportunity to
have day trippers from both Boston and New York, which of course vastly expands
the amount of investors who will be attending. Finally, the ability to allow
ourselves a little extra time to prepare (the final dates of the conference
have been set for July 11-14), allows us to not only feel more comfortable that
everything will be handled properly logistics-wise but also gives us the
opportunity to attract even more West Coast and European players, who had just
begun to pile on.'
For its part, Foxwoods is, according to National Sales Manager Natalie
Altobelli, extremely excited about working with the EM attendees. 'We are
particularly excited in being a part of an event that promises to showcase so
many developments in the interactive gaming industry, including 3-D visual
mapping technologies, hologram interaction capability, and UI techs' [such as
those used in Minority Report, the movie], which will be displayed by
revolutionary Russian company Displair. 'These technologies are not simply
toys nor advertising mechanisms. They also will play a key role in the future
of our industry.' As such, Foxwoods itself will play a role in the Gaming
forum and subsequent exhibitions.
EuraMedia plans to offer daily luxury bus service to and from both Boston and
New York and hopes that NYC, as well as Boston, will support a similar kick-off
event as Boston's eFashion Party.
