THE EVENT
The
AIBs
2017 will be presented at our awards gala dinner at LSO St Luke’s
on 1 November. For the past few years, this has been a sell-out event. Guests
have attended from countries around the world, including Australia and New
Zealand, Argentina and South Africa, Canada and the USA, India and Sri
Lanka, Singapore and the Philippines.
As the trade association for international broadcasting, the AIB is delighted
to be able to work with its Members to deliver a first-rate event that is
remembered and talked about long after the night. Each year the host is a
main presenter from an AIB Member.
Among the distinguished journalists that have hosted the
AIBs
in previous
years are: Barbara Serra, Al Jazeera English;, Mishal Husain, BBC; Annabel
Croft, Eurosport; Mark Owen, France 24; Evgenia Altfeld, RTG TV; Francine
Lacqua, Bloomberg; Vanessa Mock, Feature Story News; Melissa Bell, France
24; and Mark Barton, Bloomberg.
In 2017, we are delighted to be able to welcome back Matthew Amroliwala,
presenter of Global on BBC World News, as host of this year’s
AIBs
.
Matthew is a seasoned journalist and presenter who has worked on a range
of programmes during his BBC career. He brings his unique style to the event
where his understanding of the international broadcasting industry is put
to great use. We’re looking forward to Matthew guiding the proceedings in
November.
