- 15-18 October 2010
- FIAT/IFTA World Conference
- Dublin, Ireland
- "Keeping up with the rapid pace of change in audiovisual media creation and dissemination has meant that audiovisual archives have had to re-invent the wheel many times. However the fundamental principles that underlined audiovisual archiving in the analogue world still hold true – but there are new ways, new opportunities and new avenues to pursue in the digital and internet era and new economic challenges to keep the wheels in motion. The conference programme brings real experiences and case studies to delegates for discussion."
- The programme included the pre-launch of PrestoCentre, the European Competence Centre for digitisation and digital preservation of audiovisual content, set up in the framework of the PrestoPRIME project.
