The TV Assembly provides a unique opportunity for media executives across EBU Member organizations to share strategies in content management, production and programming. This annual event brings in leading experts to discuss everything from the value of co-productions to innovative solutions for digital distribution.
The Eurovision TV Assembly is the annual event for TV and media Directors and senior figures from across EBU public service media organizations.
The Assembly provides a unique opportunity to discuss key ideas and share strategies in media management, production and programming among peers. This assembly covers the major issues of daily concern to TV leaders, so to take away ideas and solutions to apply to their activities.
The emphasis is both strategic and practical. Members share and debate real dilemmas among colleagues which they face in the disruptive media landscape. Keynote presentations address crucial topics that matter in the media environment, case studies are presented by industry experts and EBU offers an update on its services.
We intend to hold sessions on the role of public media in a changing world; managing digital challenges; freedom of speech; innovations, and the major TV format success stories of the previous year.
We are delighted that the TV Assembly will be hosted by our colleagues at Slovakian Television on 1 & 2 June 2017. An ideal occasion to discover the beautiful city of Bratislava on the banks of the Danube that is easily accessible from Vienna Airport.

Excursion
And after the Assembly on Friday 2nd June, an exclusive boat trip visit to Modern Art Museum Danubiana will be organized from 14:00 to 19:00. Danubiana is the youngest modern art museum in Europe. It has an extraordinary location on the peninsula of the Danube River, only 30 minutes away from Bratislava. Its rich exposition includes a remarkable collection of the Dutch and Slovak art. The spacious museum park also offers to the visitors an interesting presentation of modern sculptures.
