The true universality of film is evident from the moment you enter the AFM doors. Our industry is built on a foundation of relationships, collaboration, and knowledge. The premieres, projects, and deals will be in the headlines, but the personal stories of connections made, information gathered, and ideas shared are the hidden value of AFM. This is a pure market — created as a hub for serious stakeholders to gather. This year we have enhanced the AFM environment and made access to the Loews exclusive to our official global participants. The conversations happening within the AFM offices and hallways will echo to AFM attendees through our expanded programming of Conferences, Roundtables, Workshops, and Spotlight Events. We will kick off an exploration of where the industry is headed with a new Global Perspective Conference. Throughout the week, forecasts for the future and advice on how to best navigate our industry will be offered through the lens of 150 international industry experts, decision makers, and academics. Whether this is your 39th market or your first, we’re excited for you to 2018 experience all AFM has to offer and wish you a very successful week. ARKET M ILM Michael Ryan Jean M.
