FIAF is organizing a one-day worldwide Audio-Visual Archival Training Summit on 8 March at the Cinémathèque française in Paris, France.

This summit is intended to bring together individuals and organizations involved in training, education and providing outreach and support for video, audio and film collections of all kinds around the world.

The summit will include representatives from CCAAA (Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations) member organizations as well as other individuals involved in training and outreach, in order to set the stage for a more collaborative manner of working in this important area and to make a greater impact in the future.
