From the organization we plan the event following the structure from last editions (an exhibition of different Spanish and European projects plus the space for direct contacts, interviews and meetings between professionals, producers, broadcasters and distributors). A well-known company/professional will give the novelty point of this edition,  an interesting vision of the new technologies and their application into the animation business, or ideas for production in an international market. More details will be given from now on.
