The INPUT organisation is run by volunteers. It is, therefore, entirely free to make its own decisions and — other than its dedication to public service — is beholden to no cause, individual, organisation or authority. For financial support, it relies on its delegates (Conference registration fees), major public television organisations, individuals and various institutions, agencies and foundations.

International Board
At the very heart of INPUT is its International Board made up of 16 respected broadcasters from about a dozen countries. These are the people who provide the inspiration, organisation, and continuity that enables INPUT to spring up reborn, year after year, in country after country. These are the people who watch over the health and growth of INPUT.

National Coordinators
The next level at INPUT are the National Coordinators, respected program-makers, who are appointed by the Board. Their task it is to keep feeding innovative and groundbreaking programs to input and to send those programs to an International Selection Committee who, in turn, select the best of the best for the upcoming Conference.

Shop Stewards
Composed of television professionals from all corners of the world, the Shop Stewards are a unique group. Their task is to select the best programs from the hundreds of entries and to arrange the Conference Screening Schedule. The Shop Stewards mix the selected programs into diverse screening sessions and discussion themes, which become the backbone of the Conference.

Broadcasters
The host country’s Public Broadcaster – in partnership with other cultural organisations – often contributes the conference site, the secretariat, the technical facilities and the volunteers needed to put on that year’s Conference. Public Broadcast organisations often help pay for their people to attend. In recent years, as the television world changes, more independent TV producers, directors and writers pay their own way to INPUT.

Partners
input works with UNESCO, European Broadcasting Union, Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Hoiso-Bunka Foundation, Goethe-Institut, European Union’s Media Programs and a host of other respected and generous organisations. Their common denominator is that they understand and value the crucial importance of quality TV programming for the world’s peoples and, as a consequence, support the ethical and professional development of the world’s broadcasters.
