FALL SUMMIT 2017 NEWSLETTER 27-28 SEPTEMBER 2017, MARINA DEL REY

The goals of the NATO Fall Summit remain simple: Provide members with an educational program that will help give insight on running a better business, staying up-to-date with the latest trends, with the end result being increased ticket sales and a better experience for our guests. While CinemaCon is NATO’s major industry event, we can all agree there isn’t enough time during the convention to cover all of the important issues and topics facing exhibitors. Between meetings and the convention’s scheduled events, most notably the studio presentations and screenings, the week is over before you know it. The NATO Fall Summit ofers the opportunity for theater executives to gather and learn not just from professionals from within and outside the industry, but also from each other. Once again, the summit took place at the Marina del Rey Marriott, which was a great setting for this high-level, but intimate gathering.
