LAUNCH 2 is HERE!

After over a Month of preparing, organising and planning, I’m happy to say that LAUNCH 2 is taking shape and will be landing on Thursday 9th September 2010. There are a lot of new exciting developments I look forward to share in the days leading up to the big Event – So you don’t want to miss this!

The first LAUNCH in Feb 2010 was very well received with over 200 creatives from the Singapore Film, TV and Media Industry attending. Click here to read about the event on the Launch Block website. I was very happy to get all the great feedback when I recently made some calls to past attendees – I’ve included some of them in this blog post – see below:)

“LAUNCH was a very well conceived concept, and exceptionally executed.  Great venue, great atmosphere and a great opportunity for creatives and content producers to network.

I personally made some valuable contacts and look forward to the next one!”

Karen Johnston
Programming & Acquisitions Director,
Asia Pacific

“Launch! is a networking event for our very own film, media and entertainment industry originating from the strong desire to create a thriving community that shares a common vision and passion.

Definitely worth supporting and hope to see it grow bigger over time!”

Kelvin Sng
Managing Director
Kelvin Sng Productions Pte Ltd (KSP)

“Launch provides a unique forum for Singapore’s acting community. It enables actors to meet with producers, educators and colleagues, allowing them to extend the reach  of their professional contacts. Expanding the cultural environment is the next step that will help Singapore to become a true world capital, and Launch gives those who are building the nation’s culture a place to grow.”
