INPUT 2010, Budapest - Hungary
INPUT 2010 was hosted by the Hungarian Public Broadcaster - Magyar Televizion - MTV. The Conference venue was the newly built headquarters of MTV. INPUT represented a great opportunity to present the new headquarters of MTV to the public as a workshop of creative ideas.
The 2010 Conference started at 14:00 on Saturday May 8th.
And the last session will ended at 14:00 on Wednesday May 12th followed by a "One for the Road" by the 2011 conference hosts, Seoul - South Korea.

International Assembly
For the first time the International Assembly met during the 2010 conference, and selected five new INPUT Board Members.
43 Members of the International Assembly 2010 elected the following 5 candidates as members of the International Board of INPUT for the period May 2010 to May 2014:
Judy Tam, USA
Hans Hernborn, Sweden
Kim, Kyung-Hee, South Korea
Fuminja Koike, Japan
Hansruedi Schoch, Switzerland
All INPUT Participants who have been at two of the past three INPUTs are eligible to participate as International Assembly Members.
Participants
More than 560 registrations have been made by participants from around the globe. This year, INPUT faced a lot of changes that might not be visible on the first glance.
This is the first INPUT where INPUT is a registered Non-Profit organisation. This might seem arbitrary at first, but it does make a difference for the future development of this rather anarchic organisation.
The INPUT hosts have proved amazing flexibility to make all the participants feel welcome at the new MTV headquarters. The conference logistics ran smoothly, and everyone - participants, presenters and INPUT veterans like the Shopstewards, National Coordinators and Board Members felt that they are in Budapest for one thing: Television.
