Delegates from more than 50 countries and regions across the globe have begun to arrive in Hanoi to participate in the Asia Media Summit 2011 and some seven pre-summit seminars and workshops.

The Voice of Vietnam (VOV), AMS host, has set up a welcome desk at the Noi Bai International Airport, manned by VOV staff and volunteer students from Hanoi University to assist arriving delegates and provide information about Hanoi and the AMS.

AIBD Director Yang Binyuan who arrived in Hanoi yesterday said conference preparations have gone smoothly and thanked VOV for all its assistance in ensuring the Summit’s success. He said the conference has become an important event with no less than the United Nations Secretary General delivering a video message to all participants during its inaugural ceremony on 24 May 2011.

With the theme: “ Digital Media Everywhere: Repositioning Broadcasting, “ the Summit will focus on identifying and pursuing strategies in technology, content production, management performance and business models, among others. It will feature eight plenary sessions and more than 40 speakers from across the globe.
