Highlighting the importance of the event for Japan’s broadcast and media industry, Inter BEE 2021, held at the Makuhari Messe convention centre from November 17 to 19, attracted over 30,000 walk-in and online visitors, revealed Satoshi Tsunakawa, representative director and chairman of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
Widely recognised by industry professionals as one of Japan’s largest and most comprehensive media events, Inter BEE brings together not only professionals related to audio, video, broadcasting, communications, professional writing, and distribution, but also technicians, creators, and stakeholders in the respective industries.
The annual exhibition also brings together professionals, technicians, creators, and stakeholders in the video and media industries, with “content” at its core, said show organiser JEITA.
Following on from previous editions, Inter BEE 2021 provides a business space that encompasses all aspects of content creation (production), delivery (transmission), and reception (experience), supported by the products and solutions of some of the most well-known brands in the market.
Exhibitors who supported Inter BEE 2021 include: Barco, Canon, Fraunhofer, Fujifilm, Grass Valley, Leader, LiveU, Panasonic, Riedel, Sennheiser, Shotoku Broadcast Systems, Toshiba, and many others.
Away from the exhibition halls, the conference sessions of Inter BEE 2021 discussed some of the most critical issues impacting Japan’s broadcast and media industry. These include the latest trends on broadcast policies, sports broadcasting, the fostering of global partnerships to ensure a vibrant future for broadcasting, and how simulcasting can potentially preserve the future of cable TV.
Inter BEE 2022 will return to the Makuhari Messe convention centre from 16-18 November 2022, with applications for exhibitors scheduled to open on 1 March 2022.
