INPUT Organisation
INPUT is a global, voluntary organisation set up by television professionals for television professionals - centered around the yearly screening conference.
The aim is to showcase, inspire and lead television programmes in the public service.
An independent organisation with many international links, INPUT relies on the voluntary work of its members. Contributions of broadcasters and the conference entry fee allow INPUT to remain inclusive and maintain its steadily growing global outreach.
The INPUT conference is organised by a Conference Host. Many of television’s most important innovations were first shown at the annual INPUT Screening Conference. Each May in a different city, an estimated 1000 television professionals from 50 countries and five continents gather together for one special week to screen 80 hours of the world’s finest TV programmes.
At the very heart of INPUT lies the International Board. The Board members are the people who provide the inspiration, organisation and continuity that enables INPUT to spring up reborn year after year, in country after country.
The National Coordinators (NC's) represent INPUT to their regional constituencies. Their task is to keep feeding innovative and groundbreaking programmes to INPUT and to send those programmes to an international selection where, in turn, the most fitting for the upcoming Conference is selected.
Composed of television professionals from all corners of the world, the Shopstewards are a unique group whose task it is to select the best programmes from hundreds of entries and to arrange the conference screening schedule.
Mini-INPUT & Best of INPUT
Mini-INPUT's focus on the edition in the same year, and take place after the INPUT Conference which is held each year in May. Best of INPUT's in contrast may focus on the previous three years of INPUT pre-ceding the event.
The International Hubs serve as the "Outposts" of INPUT in five continents around the world.
