Sunny Side takes a shine to international copros

Delegates sitting on the patio of the Palais du Pharo, site of the annual Sunny Side of the Doc market in Marseille, France, were treated to warm rays of sunshine and a cool breeze blowing off the Mediterranean sea. It's hard to feel like you're working in such a setting. Ironically, the three-day event (June 26 to 29) is establishing itself as a market where deals are started and closed. Not surprisingly, end-of-the-market stats reveal that attendance increased again this year. A total of 1,357 people from 31 countries came to the event. Of these, 220 were from 111 broadcast outlets. Exhibitors numbered 237; 567 companies attended.
