AIB calendar
There are more events for the broadcast media in more places covering more subjects than
ever before. With details of a new conference landing in your in-box or in-tray almost daily,
how do you assess which you should consider attending? That’s where the AIB can help – this
is our calendar of events that we think are worthwhile and that you’ll get something out of.
We negotiate discounts on delegate fees for AIB members at many events
