The Navigator provides personally arranged, structured introductions to targeted business partners, moderated advanced round-robins and professionals-only pitch sessions along with invitation-only events for advanced networking and socializing with professionals. Also new for 2010, NATPE is offering exhibitors a free customized email campaign to target customers and prospects with product and service information and an offer for a substantial discount on the Market & Conference registration fee. “The value of NATPE is opportunity,” commented Mr. Feldman. “These new initiatives have been designed to ensure that our attendees can achieve the highest possible results through enhanced relationship building, expanded connectivity and deal flow.” Regarding the move to Miami Beach in January 2011, Mr. Feldman said, “The opportunity to hold our Market & Conference at a prestigious venue such as the Fontainebleau is very attractive on a number of levels. Miami Beach is easily accessible to our attendees from the U.S., Europe and Latin America. The entire hotel with its new ocean view suites and a floor marketplace will be ours alone.
