SVT has also teamed up with the Malmö University and the regional high tech development community Media Evolution in order to offer you sessions with the cutting edge of academic thinking and new media development.

There is an editorial theme of the Conference. Most regional broadcasters face a growing multicultural environment that has an effect on the content, the journalism and the staff. In some cases we are talking about a fruitful development of society and in some cases conflicts and gaps among people. How do we as broadcasters handle the situation, do we have a certain.

responsibility for the development in our regions and do we fully understand the possibilities of this situation? The city of Malmö is a unique multicultural city with 100 languages spoken and 166 nationalities represented, most of them from all over Europe. Malmö is in this regard therefore the perfect context for an editorial discussion on multicultural and minority aspects in society. Join us in this discussion!

SVT and CIRCOM Regional are proud to offer you a broad and interesting agenda, fantastic evenings and excursions in order to celebrate the 30th Annual Conference of CIRCOM Regional.

This is simply something you cannot miss!

I am very proud that SVT has been given the honor of hosting this large gathering of European media producers. Regional news and programs produced throughout the country are the core of public service in Sweden and in Europe. Without the representation of the whole country, public service would lose some of its legitimacy, says Eva Hamilton, Managing Director SVT.

We will now be able to cast light on regional and minority programs on our own home ground, says Christina Ågren, Head of Regional and Minority programs at SVT. The annual conference is a unique possibility to meet, compete with and learn from colleagues from all over Europe.
