April 26-27th saw APEX hosting the airline industry’s top global buyers and distributors at a one-of-a-kind event – APEX Content Market in Istanbul.

APEX Content Market is the only industry event exclusively focused on connecting in-flight entertainment content buyers with worldwide content distributors. The venue was the Cevahir Hotel & Convention Center.

This marketplace offers an intimate and dynamic environment for all airline content needs such as the best in TV, movies, games, GUIs, apps, and audio content. Airline buyers have the chance to browse the dynamic show floor to get ahead on planning in-flight content for the upcoming year.  

APEX Content Market consisted of two days of networking, conducting business, and building relationships. By bringing together leading airline content buyers and content service providers (CSP) with content distributors from around the globe, APEX Content Market provides an ideal platform for airlines to access and select content in order to continue providing their passengers with the best in-flight entertainment.  

“An event such as this one is so crucial to all players involved as it places the latest in in-flight content to the forefront creating an opportunity for airline buyers to get a close and personal look at what’s in store,” states APEX CEO Dr. Joe Leader. “Even more so, this event allows distributors to have open dialogues and receive invaluable insight as it’s the only place in the world that gathers buyers and sellers under one roof”.
