The Vision2020 Trends conference
We're excited to report that participation for the 2013 Vision2020 Trends Conference in Brussels on Friday, May 31 is double that of original estimates. We look forward to welcoming more than 150 participants to a constructive day of inspiring conversation and sharing.
Europe's public service media (PSM) will face significant changes in the next decade. Through the Vision2020 project, EBU Members have embarked on an exciting journey to investigate how PSM can adapt and best serve their audiences, using trend analysis and expert experience on media consumption, programming strategies, content, socio-demographics, media policies and technology.
The 2013 Media Summit Trends Conference offers a chance to acquire practical tools to help PSM plot its course. This inspiring event will give participants access to the latest EBU research, to preliminary conclusions of three Experts Groups on the current issues facing radio, television and multimedia, as well as to an inspiring team moderators from the international think tank FreedomLab.
Look into the future, discuss big ideas and build on well-informed opinion. Listen as keynote speakers impart knowledge on the digital future of Public Service Media, smart distribution services and how to develop lasting audience relationships.
