FROM ALL OF US AT

{Coming together in 2022}

Finally, back in-person! 2022 marked a return to coming together in-person again, for the International Academy and a growing Membership of over 800 Members from 50 countries. After two M+ Events held online in February and March, Member events reverted to in-person for the rest of the year, allowing Academy Members and their guests to finally meet and see each other, after a long pause.

The first in-person Board & Members Meeting of the year was hosted by ZDF in Berlin, with over 100 people in attendance. Everyone was eager to finally get together to discuss ideas and meet new fellow Members from around the world. The rest of the year went back to a pre-pandemic schedule with September and November Board & Members Meetings taking place in New York.
