Fellowship of European Broadcasters to hold conference in UK for first time

The Fellowship of European Broadcasters will be holding its conference in the United Kingdom for the first time since the group started in 1991.

The conference takes place this year at the Hilton Stansted, just outside London, from 21 to 24 November.  

The line-up of speakers includes David Burrowes MP, Damaris Trust chief executive Nick Pollard, and SAT-7 chief executive Terence Ascott.  

From outside the UK, guest speakers include Jorg Dechert, head of ERF Online in Germany, and Jarle Haughland, chief executive of Familie and Medier in Norway.  

This year's programme will consider online safety and the unchanging message of the Gospel in a changing media landscape.

The FEB brings together Christians in broadcasting and communications across Europe and holds its conferences every 18 months.
