On 29 and 30 April 2003, the AIB - the trade association for the cross-border
broadcasting industry - will hold its
Global Media Business conference
, bringing
together broadcasting organisations worldwide and leading companies from the
satellite, manufacturing, service provision and consulting sectors. This important
two-day event will take place at The Royal College of Surgeons in Lincoln’s Inn Fields,
Central London. The 2003 Conference will build on the success of the inaugural AIB
Global Media Business Conference, held in April 2002. That event, attended by more
than 140 people from Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific and North America, was the
first of its kind, focusing entirely on the expanding international broadcasting industry.

issues, the AIB Global Media Business Conference is a two day event that
provides full and in-depth coverage of the most significant topics in the international
broadcasting industry. With high level contributions from leading experts in the
commercial and public sectors, the AIB Global Media Conference will examine the
international broadcasting arena in a truly stimulating way with a debating style
examination of the agenda and full audience participation. With an expert chair,
engaging and knowledgeable speakers, top-ranking delegates and a superb setting,
the AIB’s Global Media Business conference is an event you cannot afford to miss.
The conference timetable allows for plenty of time to meet and exchange views with
other delegates, with

. Coffee and tea breaks as
well as lunch are served in the exhibition hall, ensuring that everyone is on site
throughout the event, providing unrivalled networking opportunities.
The conference will cover four principal themes –
Audiences; Content; Technology;
Revenue and Business Models
. High-level speakers from across the industry have
agreed to take part – a selection of their names appears below. A conference advisory
board representing varied sectors of the industry has been formed to help steer the
agenda as developments occur in the international broadcasting sector, ensuring that
the conference covers the issues of the moment and reflect the current political situation.

possible, with special delegate registration packages for AIB members. A booking
