Message from the Conference Hosts
KBS and MBC have formed the organizing committee of INPUT 2011 Seoul and had a weekly meeting in preparation of the conference since the decision made about a year ago for the two leading public service broadcaster of Korea to host the event.
We have been working closely with international organizations to make possible for more Asian produc- ers to take part in the conference, which is held in Asia for the second time and in Korean for the first time. We also prepared special sessions, Women and Girls – The Role of Public Broadcasting from Content to Impact, 3D TV and Future Broadcasting, Bringing Public Television to the 21st Century Audience, and various events.
Facing the switchover to digital in 2012, Korea needs now the strategy for the future of public service broadcasting more than ever before. We are proud that we are hosting a forum at this important time, where public TV professionals around the world can gather and have a lively discussion.
We hope you can experience Korean culture, Korean wave and new media while you are staying. Thank you.
