UDEN Trade Mission PARIS

Finally got around to updating some of the project pages! Still a work-in-progress but some good stuff!

UDEN TRADE MISSION TO PARIS 

FIND NEW CLIENTS IN EUROPE! 

Bonjour!  UDEN is taking a booth at Game Connection Europe in Paris to promote the creators of entertainment content and technology here in Utah! GCE is a trade-only event and it's all about networking and deal making.  Attendees are looking for service providers and content creators -- in addition to game developers they're looking for AR, VR, VFX, storytellers, audio composers, post-production, designers and more!

WE'RE MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU

UDEN will promote your business!

We'll go and share details about your company, your services and make connections on your behalf.  

What does it cost? NOTHING!

UPDATE!! Thanks to our generous sponsors, we can offer you a place in our directory listing for FREE! But space is limited so first-come first served. ACT QUICKLY! (If you would like to show your appreciation, you can always make a small donation to UDEN).

Rate-Card:

FAQ:

Why this show?

  • We asked the UDEN community for trade mission suggestions back in January and we didn't get many responses. So we elected to pick GCE, a smaller, trade show focused on service industries and networking for our first one.

What do trade missions hope to achieve?

  • Put Utah digital entertainment on the map! Let the world (outside the state!) know that we have a vibrant community of creators of digital content and technology; and

  • Business development -- share details of the services offered by UDEN member companies and individuals

GCE is primarily a game event. Is there anything here for the film community?

  • Yes, we believe so. As a trade event, attendees are looking to find service companies. We know from last year's show that the services being sought included audio, VFX, VR/AR, back-end network and cloud technologies, storytellers, video production and more, in addition to game development services such as coding, artwork, design and project management. While we cannot guarantee this, it seems likely the same will be true in 2018.

Will there be more trade missions to other places?

  • We are always trying new ways to provide value to the UDEN community, this first trade mission is an experiment to see how useful it is in reality. If we get enough support and it has value to our members, then we would look at more trade missions in future.

What will be included in the eBrochure?

  • Essentially, it's a digital listing of the UDEN members who would like to get their businesses and services in front of potential buyers. We thinking that rather than a paper brochure, a thumb-drive containing digital content might be more useful for this purpose.

How big would my company logo be on the side of the UDEN booth?

  • If you choose upgrade to add the 'Featured' item in addition to the eBrochure listing, we would include your logo alongside other UDEN members and sponsors on the booth walls. We don't know dimensions yet, but we can show you examples from what we saw on other booths when we attended the show last year if you are interested. Just email us and ask info@utahden.org.

How prominent would my 'Showreel' be if I buy that upgrade?

  • We'll have a monitor on the table in the UDEN booth which will be used to demonstrate UDEN member services, during meetings, and otherwise will be running a loop of promotional showreels from participating UDEN members at all other times. So the loop will be seen by anyone walking by, and if anyone specifically inquires about your services, we would show your showreel and any other materials you have provided to us.

How is the 'Event Trailer' different that the 'Showreel'?

  • The organizers have monitors throughout the entire showfloor which run all hours that the GCE show is open. On these monitors they show a loop of video trailers by companies who pay extra for being featured on these monitors. So during the course of a day there is a good chance of your trailer being seen multiple times by attendees.

  • UDEN will have a generic trailer in the loop, but this offer is for your own dedicated trailer to be featured. We will help you with the ordering through the organizers. Note that the price may vary due to exchange rate fluctuations.

How big is the UDEN booth?

  • It's the smallest and cheapest they offer :-) 4 square kilometers.

Can my business exhibit at GCE separate from UDEN?

  • Yes! Of course, assuming they have availability left. Contact us and we will connect you to the organizers, or answer any questions you might have info@utahden.org

  • If we had enough companies interested in this, we could arrange a larger booth to accommodate everyone.

Who is sponsoring this trade mission?

  • We're looking for a few additional sponsors to help with the cost. Please contact us for details info@utahden.org

Are there sponsorship opportunities for the Game Connection event itself?

  • There are, subject to availability. UDEN doesn't arrange these but we could put you in contact with the organizers. info@utahden.org

Is there any information about the show attendees, buyers etc?

  • Yes, the organizers have a bunch. We have included a few items on this page, and below, but if you need more please let us know and we'll share what we have. info@utahden.org
