Europe’s first trade fair for developers, producers, suppliers and promoters of digital media content and corresponding devices will take place in the new EXPO XXI Cologne, Germany on 27-29 September, 2005.

As “Europe’s First Convergence Exhibition,” CON4 provides a professional business to business (B2B) framework for the showcasing of digitalization technology, and the application of this technology in different sectors of the media and entertainment industry.

According to a PwC-Study, *the market for media and entertainment will increase world-wide from $1.3 trillion currently to $1.8 trillion. The digitalisation of content in music, TV and cinema and increasingly efficient and affordable consumer devices are all contributing to this increase and the world-wide network of stationary and mobile broadband internet connections now enables area-wide access to content for both private and business clients.

CON4 will provide the digital solutions and applications in high demand within the media and entertainment industry, presented in a state of the art facility, which allows delegates to benefit from various networking activities.
