Ciclope Festival Berlin to host the world’s top creative and craft professionals in November

Ciclope International Festival of Craft has announced the guest list (see below) for its 6th edition, which will be held on 5th and 6th November 2015, in Berlin. As usual, the German capital will receive the crème of the advertising global community to share ideas, celebrate the most well-crafted works of the year, and network with colleagues and clients.

The line-up does not only include a first-class international jury, but also speakers who will offer stimulating talks and case studies. “It’s really exciting to have such great people joining us each year. In any case, I hope we can keep this show as small as we always wanted it to be”, says Francisco Condorelli, Ciclope’s founder and director.

This year, Ciclope Festival presents the Next Room, a curated exhibition where the festival’s attendees will have the chance to experience first-hand the latest in virtual reality and immersive technologies. “VR storytelling is definitely taking off, but there is so much ground to explore, so many companies trying to expand the boundaries of this technology, that we thought it was necessary to offer a platform like this”, explains Condorelli.

Ciclope’s guests will also take part of the Market, a networking spot sponsored by Mamma Team, where festival’s delegates, creatives, agency producers, directors, executive producers, music producers and other professionals meet and discuss potential business opportunities. At the Fresh Market, full production companies (representing directors), digital production companies, post houses and music/sound companies will be able to meet creatives and producers from leading agencies. Meanwhile, at the Service Market, production service companies and location managers have the chance to meet executive producers from leading production companies.
