Our conference is the premier gathering for everyone working with media archives: managers, archivists, researchers, developers, planners, and service and goods providers. The FIAT/IFTA World Conference, ask those who attended, is anything but yet another business event. It’s a dynamic space where ideas meet action and where professionals from diverse backgrounds come together to tackle the pressing challenges of today’s media archives, in an atmosphere of friendly openness.

Come join us in Rome, città eterna, as we explore all the important details about media archives, including the challenges, the things we’re not sure about, and the opportunities. Your voice matters. Your expertise shapes the conversation. Be part of the dialogue defining the next media preservation and strategy chapter.

We welcome proposals based on user experiences, new initiatives or perspectives, striking conclusions, and successes, but also failures. The main objective is for audiovisual archive professionals to share amongst each other, to understand the lessons learned and where new challenges or solutions might arise, wherever your archive is on the timeline. Suggestions for subjects not mentioned are equally welcome but should be contextualised thoroughly.
