Third Weekend announces real 'treats'!

Although still a “toddler” (that is about to celebrate its third birthday), Rovinj-based Weekend Media Festival boasts rather impressive figures. In the first two years the festival gathered over 5,000 participants from all over the region, including some of the most interesting names in the world of the media, marketing and PR, and was followed by 500-odd Croatian and regional journalists. This year’s edition of the Weekend Media Festival, whose motto is “Better, Bigger, More Interesting and More Entertaining”, has some real “treats” to announce.

This September Rovinj is going to welcome Pete Radovich, U.S. sports producer of Croatian descent and winner of 18 Emmy Awards, Jon Williams, Chief Digital Officer for Gray EMEA and jury member at this year’s Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, and Andrew Keen, author of The Cult of the Amateur and one of the world’s biggest internet critics. The panel discussions, intriguing as ever, will feature morning radio shows, TV digitization, and fashion and teen media, as well as the mythical yet unanswered question about what the clients really want and expect from their agencies. Finally, as always, there will be plenty of fun; three huge parties will have you dancing until the early morning hours.

By all means, the Weekend is this year’s must-see event!
