response to the show was just as amazing as it could be. From exclusive Hollywood product presentations highlighting a slate of upcoming films, to must-see premiere feature screenings, to the biggest stars, producers and directors, CinemaCon helped jumpstart the excitement and buzz that surrounds the summer season at the box office. In returning to Caesars Palace, CinemaCon was able to offer its delegates a modern and upscale conference facility and a one-of-a kind movie going experience in the Colosseum, the 4,200 seat of Caesars Palace.
According to Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director, CinemaCon "When you think about celebrating the moviegoing
Frankly Speaking: The Ever-Changing World of Filmmaking Today, Tomorrow and Beyond An in-depth roundtable discussion with today’s leading and groundbreaking filmmakers
experience you can't help but think about the great product offered up by our friends in distribution. When it comes to product, this week may set another record with the amount of material to be showcased (along with plenty of stars, producers and directors) not to mention screening four feature length films. The mix of studio presentations and screening has never been better and for those delegates who have been asking for more screenings, well, your wish is our command!"
