A big welcome to the Eurasian Media Forum - which is fast becoming established as a unique opportunity for journalists from all corners of the globe to meet and discuss issues important to us all.
The success of the first Forum in 2002 was highlighted by the number of people who eagerly returned the following year. To those old friends, the warm welcomes will be familiar. For those of you attending for the first time, get ready to experience an entertaining and informative combination of serious debate and seriously fun socializing. This gathering is networking at its best.
The Eurasian Media Forum has proved that media people are the same all over the world. The same issues, such as safety in the field, freedom of press, and the challenging economics of commercial broadcasting, are the centre of debate in every newsroom. How they are dealt with varies - so exchanging views, ideas and experiences is crucial if we are to move forward and upward.
The past two years have proved that those who come to the EAMF are willing to speak up and take part. That is at the centre of the Forum's success - the participation of people like you. Please make the most of the important discussions that take place during the sessions... and please make sure you fully experience the big-hearted effort of the people of Kazakhstan, as they invite you to be part of the Eurasian Media Forum in Almaty.
