General Conference
The AIBD General Conference (GC) and its Associated Meetings is the annual official gathering of the Institute. The General Conference is open to member countries, affiliates, partners, observers and leading broadcasters by invitation only.
Member Countries, Affiliates and partners review the number of activities and projects that AIBD has implemented for the past year and also look into the future projects. Member countries also discuss their developmental needs to uplift their respective organisations.
Besides this, the AIBD Strategic Plan Team (SPT) Meeting and the Executive Board (EXBO) Meeting will also take place and look into the future major AIBD activities such as the Asia Media Summit (AMS). The meetings of the Strategic Plan Team and the Executive Board are limited to members of the SPT and EXBO only.
GC is for AIBD members to engage, plan and chart a new pathway for the institute. The GC also looks into concerns brought up by the secretariat. Media practitioners from the local stations of the host country are also invited to join the various professional discussions as their participation will contribute to a diversity of views and more in-depth discussion of the various topics. Participants of these meetings benefit from the presence of leading broadcasters from Asia-Pacific and it is an opportunity to network and know more about developments in the media industry.
