The conference was hosted by the Institute for Broadcasting Economics, in cooperation with the  Broadcasting Fee Association (BFA). 

On the first day the legal, economic, and administrative requirements for the funding of public service broadcasting were discussed, and the role of the licence fee collecting agencies was explored. The second day focused on the question if a licence fee is still appropriate in times of media convergence, when receiving sets become multifunctional and "hybrid".
