Viory

It’s the season for major media events. Whilst members of the team were attending the Asia Media Summit last week, members of our Africa and MENA team were attending the 15th African Union of Broadcasting General Assembly in sunny Botswana. The Viory team, led by Alex Kobia and 𝕾𝖆𝖍𝖆𝖗 𝖋𝖆𝖉𝖍𝖑𝖔𝖚𝖓 ୬⚡️had a great time getting the latest updates from the sector and meeting with partners, clients and colleagues. We look forward to the next assembly. While there, the team was also able to catch up with our colleagues at Botswana TV and Radio National. They were kind enough to give Alex and Sahar a behind-the-scenes look at their modern newsroom and broadcasting facilities. Photos from both the event and our visit are below!

That’s a wrap on the Asia Media Summit 2024! It’s been an incredibly exciting and energising few days with many conversations with partners, clients and colleagues from all over the region. The Viory team have had a great time participating in talks, conducting masterclasses and even receiving an #award! We were delighted to receive an Appreciation Award from Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD) presented by Fahmi Fadzil the Minister of Communication for Malaysia and the Head of the AIBD,  philomena gnanapragasam. A big thank you to them, the organisers and everyone who attended. Next stop for the Viory events team is the Broadcast and Digital Media Convention Africa 2024 in Namibia in October!

Today is the final day of Asia Media Summit 2024! Come by and say hello to the team if you are attending. Yesterday our Asia Region Head, Eduard Chizhikov took part in a stimulating panel discussion titled AI: #Technology, Trust, and #Transformation. They covered areas such as the future of broadcasting and what AI could mean for the news landscape. Trust and reliability were central to the conversation, which is why we have our Viory Verification Team working around the clock to ensure our clients can rely on our content. We are watching this space closely and are constantly looking at ways to safely and securely integrate new technologies like #AI into our work to improve the quality and speed of our content. Thank you to the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development for inviting us to be on the panel! Take a look at the photos from the talk below. 

We are participating in the 19th Asia Media Summit run by the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development in the glorious Kuala Lumpur. On the first day of this important #conference our verification expert Marie Sakellariou led a masterclass with journalists from the region delving into the details of how Viory’s Verification Team ensures the integrity of our footage. Participants gained insights on how we verify footage from the field and first-hand experience with the techniques they can use to ensure the trustworthiness of the content they use in their reporting. We’re honoured to be at one of the largest events of this kind for #media in the region and we have a whole host of activities planned whilst at the conference. So, please come by and say hello to the team, or drop us a message if you’d like to connect.
