FIAT/IFTA World Conference 2016
Rethink the future of AV
The 2016 FIAT/IFTA World Conference will take place in Warsaw, hosted by the National Audiovisual Institute of Poland; NInA, from October 12 to October 15.
Today, audiovisual content is ubiquitous, anywhere and increasing all the time. It is produced and exchanged constantly by ever more people. Communication and interactions are ever more in a multi-media form enabled by new and flourishing digital technologies. This poses huge questions and challenges to all organisations managing audiovisual content for future access and re-use. As media archives, how do we continue to capture the present, preserve the past and make it all available for the future with an increasing amount of contents surrounding us?
As every year, the conference will provide a unique occasion for archives to discuss & learn about their challenges and understand the innovations in uses and technology. Different aspects of the archive’s life, use and potential value will be presented permitting participants to grasp what has been done and what we will be able to do in the future. Special emphasis will be put in exchanges and discussions with experts or through round-tables for a deeper understanding of ideas.
The conference will have different types of sessions presenting:
Keynote speakers;
Plenary sessions;
Workshops;
Case study sessions;
Round-tables.
Call for presentations:
Presentations should be based on user experiences or new perspectives; the main objective is to share knowledge and results with FIAT/IFTA members in order to understand the lessons learned and new challenges or solutions arising. Each session will consist of four 20 minutes presentations plus time for discussion and questions.
