This annual event covering three days at the EBU headquarters in Geneva brings together 150 professionals from the public broadcast sector and increasingly the private sector as well. In addition to those attending in person, the EBU streams the event live with high production values, interactivity and excellent video and sound quality.

This report provides a brief summary of each session. On request more information can be provided on specific presentations, most have been made available directly after the event.
