The television landscape is evolving at tremendous speed. According to Eric Schmidt, former CEO at Google, “the Internet is fundamental to the future of TV”. Most broadcasters are struggling to grasp the pitfalls and potentials of the net. Emerging viewing patterns involve increased interactivity, non-stop availabilty and the evidence of choice.

The AMIA Annual Conference provides an opportunity for a diverse array of professionals, students, and friends of the field, to meet, share information and work together through an intensive and cost-effective learning forum for audiovisual preservation and access. For newcomers to this vibrant, dynamic, and committed community, networking with other AMIA members and industry professionals is an invaluable introduction.

Pre-conference workshops provide unique professional development programs at a cost that is highly competitive with comparable regional offerings.
