Association for International Broadcasting Awards Ceremony 2007 November 20, 2007

The AIB's diner pensant, complete with the presentation of the 2007 AIB Media Excellence Awards, will take place in the wonderful surroundings of Clothworkers' Hall, one of the City of London's ancient livery companies, on Tuesday 20 November 2007.

Guests from all over the world will attend this glittering, inspiring occasion where everyone will take something away at the end of the evening. That's because instead of simply having a conventional awards ceremony, the AIB is bringing two inspiring speakers to the event who will be in conversation during the dinner.

Tomi Ahonen is a strategy consultant in the mobile space, with an established career in digital media and communications. A former senior executive at Nokia where his remit included the company's 3G research centre, Ahonen is a best-selling author on media and the digital environment. His latest book, Digital Korea, co-authored with Jim O'Reilly, is a study of the most advanced country in digital convergence, South Korea. While much of the book sounds like science fiction, it is in fact a portrait of the reality of life in Korea today.

Ahonen will be sharing some of his research into digital media around the world with the AIB's guests at its Diner Pensant, and will be exploring some of the ways in which media owners and broadcasters need to position themselves for the all-embracing - and rapidly approaching - digital future.
