WELCOME

The annual FIAT/IFTA world conference will take place in Antalya, Turkey from October 12 to 18. The conference is being hosted by Turkish Radio & Television Corporation (TRT). The NEW! venue for the conference is the Renaissance Antalya Resort, Antalya, Turkey. Due to contract disagreement with the management of The Topkapi Palace Hotel, Antalya, we are sorry to inform you that we have to move the venue of the conference to RENAISSANCE ANTALYA RESORT, Antalya. We are sorry for the change. Last week, July 19 , three members of the Board - Wolfgang Dehn, Karl Maier and Tedd Johansen - went to Antalya to negotiate with the management of the new hotel called: RENAISSANCE ANTALYA RESORT. The result of the meeting was positive.

We have to make some changes in the programme to make it work. The programme is still a draft so far. Take a look at the draft programme and you will see the change: We do not start the conference officially on Sunday 13th October as previously planned. We start on Monday 14th October. We have to make this change because the new hotel has too few rooms available for members arriving on Saturday 12th October.
Those members who have to participate in the Board meeting and the meetings of the commissions on Sunday 13th October, can do so without any problem with hotel rooms.

If you have to book a plane ticket connected to a weekend: Saturday/Sunday to reduce the travelling costs, we advice you to connect the dates to the Saturday/Sunday after the conference (October 19-20). Take care and welcome to FIAT/IFTA and welcome to Turkey and Antalya.

The title of the programme is: Media archives: At the bridge between analogue and digital/the past and the future? Even if the programme is packed, we are aiming at closing each session in due time. We intend to make it possible for you to meet fellow members from all over the world to exchange experiences in the field of audiovisual archives. We know that many of you are confused about the new technology called the digital world. Anyway, we have to go on making it possible for you to deal with the new challenge. Nevertheless we do not forget the daily life of your archive - a life far away from the digital world!

The GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The General Assembly will take place for Full Members only, on Wednesday 16th October. On the agenda is the election of the new President and new members to the Board . Full Members who have not paid the Fee the last two years, must do so if they want to take part in the election. This is not the case for those Full Members who have been granted one year's membership without paying the fee. Those members who will not make it taking part in the election, may transfer their vote to another member present at the meeting. Each member is only allowed to receive one vote from members not present at the assembly. Information about the transfer of votes must be given to the General Secretary in advance.

THE DRAFT PROGRAMME

Take a look at the draft programme. We are also interested in focusing on matters of importance for archives where the introduction of new technology is not on the agenda of the company. We hope you find the programme interesting. Take a look at the different workshops and make up your mind where you want to participate.
