Dear Members

National Book Council is organizing the Asian Festival of Children’s Content again this year and it comprises several days of workshops and events.

The event which may be of interest to some of our members is the Media
Summit: http://afcc.com.sg/_2013/programme/media-summit

NBC is offering our members a one-for-one deal so two pax can attend the full-day event with lunch included. Even though it’s part of the Asian Festival for Children’s Content, the sessions look very interesting and would be relevant to content producers, in particular TV and online. This year’s theme is Transmedia Storytelling.
