AIB
SOURCEBOOK:
CONNECTINGUS
AIB is in touch with well in excess of 25,000
media professionals globally - from Afghanistan
to Zaire, Germany to Singapore.
As a result, AIB is well-placed to provide the
broadcasting and electronic media industries
with an unbeatable range of contacts. And that’s
what we do with the AIB Global Broadcasting
Sourcebook.
Launched three years ago at the request of
AIB members, the Sourcebook is an invaluable
and unique directory of the world’s major
broadcasters, satellite platforms, IPTV
operators and cable networks. And as media
and telecoms converge, the new edition of the
AIB Sourcebook - to be published on 8
September - now carries contact data for the
people in mobile operators who are doing deals
with broadcasters.
This year’s edition of the AIB Sourcebook has
been thoroughly revised and updated. We have
doubled the amount of contact information the
book carries, and for the first time we’re
including a range of invaluable contextual
information about broadcasting markets and
developments in key sectors such as cable and
satellite.
Through our partnership with Cambridge-
based Broadband TV News, the AIB Sourcebook
is now even more comprehensive covering the
TV, radio, satellite and cable industries, as well
as the fast-developing IPTV and mobile content
sectors.
Keeping up-to-date with people’s movements
in the industry has never been more important
and that’s where the AIB Sourcebook comes
into its own - because AIB is in personal contact
with thousands of industry executives, the
information in the Sourcebook is highly reliable.
Details of how to order this new Sourcebook
appear on page 13. The 2009 AIB Global
Broadcasting Sourcebook is available in both
print and PDF versions.
If we’re not already in touch with you, we’re
looking forward to connecting with you. Call by
our exhibition booth at IBC in Amsterdam in
September, meet us at the NewsXchange in
Malta in October and of course join us for our
annual celebration of success, the 2009 AIBs, in
London on 4 November.
