Promising three essential days of focus and debate for the European advertising and communications industry, the Eurobest Festival moves to the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area for the first time in November.
Taking place from 25 to 27 November at the Beurs van Berlage, the Festival is organised by the International Advertising Festival, the team behind Cannes Lions, Dubai International Advertising Festival and Spikes Asia.
Since its inception in 1988, Eurobest has been the premier awards for Europe's creative advertising industry. This is its second year known as the Eurobest Festival.
Incorporating seminars and workshops, it has a purely European focus and will engage the European creative community on the industry's most pertinent issues.
The Eurobest Awards now has 11 entry sections with the addition of Craft in 2009 to the existing sections of TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor, Direct, Sales Promotion, Media, Interactive, Radio, Design and Integrated.
The awards will be judged by panels of expert, high-profile jurors who determine the shortlists and then on the final night of the festival award Grand Prix, Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies to Europe's best work.
More than 50 industry experts will deliver a packed program of seminars and workshops, and there will be business development opportunities and networking events.
These include an evening of fun, drinks and socialising involving a map and visits to five leading Amsterdam advertising agencies' offices.
