The International Broadcasting Assembly brings together EBU Members that transmit internationally (TV, radio and online) to discuss and share strategic challenges and identify areas of mutual support, assistance and knowledge.

This year’s IBA will take place in two sessions on 1 June, from 10:00 to 11:00 CEST and from 14:00 to 16:30 CEST. Due to the ongoing COVID-19-related restrictions the Assembly will be held online for the second time.

In the morning session, Members will be electing a new International Broadcasting Committee, look at the trends of international broadcasting and exchange Members’ news.

In the afternoon we will address international distribution strategies with Nigel Fry (BBC), Elena Puigrafagut (EBU) and Oliver Linow (DW) and discuss different aspects of trusted journalism with Rasmus Kleis Nielsen (Reuters Institute),  Albert Romagnoli and Sabino Metta (Rai), Heaton Dyer (CBC/Radio-Canada) and Justyna Kurczabinska (EBU). 

Please check the agenda for more information.
