The Association for International Broadcastings annual summit of the international broadcasting industry, the AIB Global Media Business Conference, starts today in Prague with delegates from all over the world.
This year the AIBs conference partner is Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, with Globecast providing the satellite links. The conference takes place in the Hall of the Peoples, where members of parliament gathered to debate and vote in the Communist era, and it was in this building that the Czechoslovak government authorised the jamming of broadcasts from the West.
The two-day conference ends on Thursday, 13 May, with a debate on Restoring Trust in an Uncertain World.
