In addition, the Asian Project Market (APM) and E-IP Market which opened on-site for domestic participants were opportunities to affirm the industry demand for in person business meetings that were limited due to the pandemic. All services aside from the Market Screenings and Online Meetings are available on ‘ACFM 2021 Online’ until October 31. We hope to see you all in Busan next year.
