Broadcast & Film Africa, 2008

23-25 September 2008

Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) Nairobi, Kenya

The conference will have sessions that will look at the following areas:

• Programming in a highly competitive market – How do you differentiate what you do from your competition? How do radio stations in particular survive against very high levels of competition?
• The new advertising model – how do advertisers hit their target markets in the future? Who are the winners and losers in the new media landscape?
• Convergence and multi-media platforms – Beyond the hype, how will things like the Internet and mobile TV affect traditional African broadcasting? What are multi-media strategies that suit radio and television? How will IP-TV and triple play affect the market?
• Local content strategies – How can you commission local programming that will win audiences? How do you sell local programmes across the region? Is it possible to work with the new DIY film-makers? What languages do you broadcast in?
• Piracy – Many of the satellite Pay-TV operators suffer from high levels of content piracy. How can conditional access and encryption be used to safeguard your delivery?
• Transmission coverage and the coming digital switchover – How do you extend your signal coverage cost-effectively? What are you doing about the digital switchover and its twin-sister High-Definition TV?
• Production technology – Have you started to make the transition to tape-less production?
• Regulatory and policy issues: Is there a level playing field for the new, competitive broadcasters? Are local investment restrictions too onerous? What are the ground rules for free and fair debate?
