The wait is almost over.
The first in-person IBC to be held after two years of virtual formats, IBC 2022 will return to the RAI exhibition and conference centre in Amsterdam from September 9-12, and will feature more than 1,000 exhibitors comprising some of the biggest brands in the broadcast and media solutions space.
Steve Connolly, a Director of IBC, said, “Over 1,250 organisations will be sharing demonstrations and concrete examples of leading-edge technologies, from artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) led tools to cloud advances that are revolutionising remote production to new ways to leverage and monetise content in a fragmented media world driven by a multitude of platforms and devices.
“What’s more, the Accelerator Programme has a phenomenal array of brands working together across projects focusing on 5G, blockchain, volumetric video and XR, among others.”
The IBC Accelerator Media Innovation Programme, which brings together pioneering media companies and tech vendors to collaborate on solutions that address real-world industry challenges, will be highlighted at the Accelerator Zone at the Innovation Stage in Hall 2.
At the Innovation Stage, visitors can also check out a first-time partnership between IBC and The Next Web (TNW), a global media and events organisation with a focus on new technology. At the show, IBC and TNW will deliver a specific, tailored content programme dedicated to fuelling growth for start-ups and emerging tech companies across the media and entertainment ecosystem
Other highlights that will be showcasing technology-driven thought leadership, product innovations and other advances through presentations, panels, masterclasses, case studies and proof of concept (POC) demos include the Showcase Theatre in Hall 12, where audiences will hear from speakers from leading industry players such as AWS, Globo, Google and Zixi; the Content Everywhere Stage in its new purpose-built home in the expanded Hall 5 featuring speakers from LTN, Red Bee, Synamedia, Telstra and many more.
Connolly said, “Technology has been forcibly accelerated across the industry over the last two years and exhibitors are keen to demonstrate these advances to customers and prospects they haven’t met in person, in some cases, for three years.
“Our return to Amsterdam as a live event is showing that there really is no comparable substitute for face-to-face business engagement on the scale IBC can deliver.”Click here for more information on IBC 2022.
