An Afternoon kaffeeklatsch…

It was purported that over 50% of the visitors to Screen Expo Europe were from overseas (non-UK residents) and anecdotally this seemed to hold up well with the folks that we met and saw.

A show like this doesn’t go on long enough for serious networkers like ourselves (we have politely, I am sure been described as ‘network-tarts’) but the two days was a start in catching up with old friends, colleagues and acquaintances we hadn’t seen for a while – especially from those countries like Germany, Turkey and Greece which we haven’t visited nearly enough recently!

Some gossip from Germany, which as you know we predict to be the outstanding geographical market in 2008…

BTW – ‘kaffeeklatsch’ is an coffee-and-cake gossip session!

Definitions of kaffeeklatsch on the Web:

Kaffeeklatsch is a German phrase translating literally as “coffee chat”. This is the type of casual conversation, small talk and especially gossip …

Hi Adrian,

Knutsford, Cheshire calling…..FYI – From the very encouraging number of visitors to the IQ Digital Media Networks stand, I can confirm that 29% were from outside the UK.

I agree that two days is not long enough for networking – spent all my time on the stand talking to prospects!…..Maybe we need three days next year?

BTW – where were you?!

Finally, could you please ask the bar sponsors for the Exhibitor Reception why they couldn’t afford more than one glass of wine and a large proportion of the attendees had to cross over the road to the Hand and Flower?

David. LOL. Our team were back to back 1:1’s and spent most of the time on the 1st floor in the press area, conveniently located opposite those lovely masseuse ladies.
