Join us for the #iamabroadcaster conference taking place in London on 18 and 19 February 2015
With speakers from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, plus contributions from around the world via IP video connection, this two-day conference will provide a unique briefing about the state of the media industry in markets around the world.
The conference, on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 February, brings together a remarkable range of attendees who are travelling to London to share knowledge and ideas on media finance, audience engagement, future devices, TV news, telcos vs broadcasters, storytelling, connectivity, brands, and outsourcing.
See the latest agenda here.
The conference is run by AIB, the not-for-profit international industry association for TV, radio and online broadcasting. And since we’re not in the business of pleasing shareholders with this event, delegates will get two packed days of relevant, timely and useful information and networking.
You can reserve delegate places today – and to make sure that we make the conference as accessible as possible, we’re offering one-day passes for either the Wednesday or the Thursday to allow people who can’t spare the time to attend both days to take part in the conference for a shorter time.
Reserve delegate places through the AIB’s online booking service here.
Join us for the best briefing for the start of 2015 in London on 18 and 19 February.

AIB and its Members are horrified by the appalling attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, the French weekly satirical magazine, in Paris on 7 January 2015.
“Today’s dreadful attack by gunmen on staff at Charlie Hebdo will not stifle the press in France, nor in any other country,” says Simon Spanswick, chief executive of the Association for International Broadcasting. “Everyone at AIB and its global membership offers their sympathy to the families of those killed and injured in the attack, and support for colleagues at the magazine.”
Despite the outrageous and distressing attack, AIB’s support for freedom of expression and for the media remains total.
