All Roads Lead To Rome

Rome. The mere name of this revered city invokes a myriad of images, legends and memories. Rome is the Eternal City - home to a culture that has shaped Western Civilization for more than 2,000 years.

Everyone has an image of Rome - the monuments, ancient Imperial ruins, the ghostly protagonists of history; the awe-inspiring and exquisite Roman architecture, the breathtaking Renaissance art; the gilded palaces of Vatican City; the picturesque Roman hills; the charismatic culture; the gastronomic delights. This is the city where the 'dolce vita' was born.

No city in the world reflects this history of human endeavours quite as much as Rome. With so much to captivate, the Eternal City beckons travellers from far and wide, lending credence to the oft-repeated phrase that "All roads lead to Rome..."

A Forum for History!

Comments from 2004 Delegates

The 2004 edition of The World Congress of History Producers was held in Toronto in October and by all accounts it was an outstanding success. We asked the 400+ delegates to complete our post-congress survey and here is what the respondents told us.

69% of delegates were successful in finding production partners at History 2004

64% of respondents were able to advance productions in development through attending History.

27% of respondents secured new development commitments at History.

"The number of partners who where interested in working with us was much higher than we expected!"

"A huge benefit for me was meeting people from countries I wasn't expecting to be there who might become production partners".

What the delegates really enjoyed:

"Delegates were bright, educated, and serious about doing history well. I wasn't surprised but was delighted."

The congress provided "a good overview of what was going on in the world and an informal collaborative atmosphere."

"The sessions were great. We all need to find out what others are doing and this conference was more useful than most in that regard."
