New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The creative industry conference EARS - Europe-Asia Roundtable Sessions brings Asia's latest trends and top professionals to Helsinki, Finland this August.
In Asia, creative industries are booming and the new generation of consumers suggests opportunities for business and international collaboration between East and West. Asian professionals are looking for opportunities for internationalization. At the same time, the West wants to establish business in new markets, which require time and resources, both often scarce for creative industries.
EARS - Europe-Asia Roundtable Sessions is the premier creative industry conference that supports international collaboration by showcasing the latest trends from Asia and offering the chance to meet people behind them.
"Creative professionals of marketing and media, music, design, and performing arts share the passion for international collaboration. But to be successful in foreign markets you need to know local people and understand the cultural differences. EARS was set up in 2012 because professionals needed a place to meet and share ideas. The mission was to connect the fastest growing creative industry market, Asia, to the rest of the world. Today EARS has become the leading event to meet Asia's top creative professionals and delegates attend all the way from Australia", says EARS CEO Ossi Luoto.
The 8th EARS event, taking place August 27-30 in Helsinki, will again be the best place to hear about the latest developments in Asia. EARS speakers from key positions in the Asian creative industries will share their insights on virtual reality, Asia's festival boom, social media marketing, and more. Top speakers include Sehoon Chang, Head of Animation Global Business at CJ E&M, South Korea's leading content and media company, and Dong Il Dillon Seo, one of the main influencers in the South Korean gaming and start-up scene, and ex-partner of Oculus Rift.
In addition to EARS, at the end of August Helsinki will host
Modern Sky Festival with new international music from Asia's metropolitan cities. The annual Helsinki Festival also celebrates its China focus year with the broadest showcases of Chinese culture in
Europe in the past years. EARS connects to both events through introducing the talents behind them to each other at EARS on Helsinki 2014.
