IPI TO MARK FIRST TEN YEARS IN VIENNA


Since 1992, the International Press Institute (IPI) has been based in Vienna, Austria, and has seen its membership expand from 70 to 115 countries. To mark its first ten years of press-freedom campaigning since moving its offices from London to Vienna, IPI has announced plans to hold a series of events running from 20-24 November.

Highlights include a seminar entitled "Visions for the Future of Communications," which will look at the technical, legal, marketing and human-rights aspects of the communications industry, and a special "Press Freedom Gala" at Vienna City Hall.

There will also be meetings of the IPI Board, the IPI Forum and the Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organisations. Leading representatives of IPI's member groups and other global media organisations are expected to attend.
