On the other hand, festival’s communication campaign signals the fact that, when coherent strategies to align to global trends are lacking in the region, some business in the region are risking to disappear. One of those trends is the exponential growth of mobile phone’s importance.

This year, the festival reached its biggest scope and expands with 3 stages: Innovation, Know-How and Experts, with VIP areas adding to those, along with stand-up comedy shows, projections and live music at The Viral Nights of ICEEfest.

Tickets and special offers for participating to the event are available on festival’s official website, www.ICEEfest.com.  Interactive Central and Eastern Europe Festival is organized by ThinkDigital, in partnership with Orange and driven by Toyota Hybrid.
