International Relations Plenary

The Plenary is a unique opportunity for the EBU International Relations community to gather to exchange best practices, update on EBU initiatives and discuss the impact of current challenges on our work.

The 2026 International Relations Plenary will take place in Porto on 22–23 September 2026, kindly hosted by RTP.

Here are some of the topics we expect to cover:

  • Crisis preparedness, including a new EBU tool for Members
  • AI in media and international relations work
  • Updates from IR taskforces: Advocacy, EU projects and community connectivity
  • Major sports events in a changing geopolitical context

There will, as always, be the opportunity for Members to present their work in different areas,  as well as updates and presentations of EBU services and activities. 

The programme includes a welcome cocktail on 22 September, and on 23 September, a visit to the Porto wine caves followed by dinner. We thank RTP for their generous hospitality. Registration opens soon.
