What’s on and fascinating this year?

The IBC Future Zone

The Future Zone is promising to offer attendees a glimpse into the future of the industry, with the latest ideas, concept tech and innovative solutions from around the world. The Future Zone will be housed in the exhibition hall and will draw a focus from the development of new technologies by showing the various stages of the development cycle.

What Caught My Eye

What Caught My Eye is a show favourite, and has been a long-standing attraction at IBC. The first 45-minute early session will be held on the 15th September and offers some inspiration with industry professionals invited to speak about their favourite show offerings. This years’ focus will be about business transformation, chaired by Tom Marshall of Captive North. Marcos Gonzalez-Flower of Atos will speak from 8:15am to 9:0am.

Social media will provide the focus for Sunday’s session, and the final What Caught My Eye will feature Innovation.

The IBC Partnership Pavilion

IBC provide an opportunity for attendees to engage with representatives of IBC’s owners and learn about the latest business initiatives. This is a fantastic, not-to-be-missed chance for those interested in content creation, delivery and management.

The IBC Partnership initiative offers video streaming and other industry participants to find out more about how they can get involved with IBC.

That’s not all! With the HBS Broadcast Academy, MediaMatters Speed Dating event, IBC owner and association sessions, IBC2018 promises to keep attendees busy, and that’s before we even get to the conference or IBC industry awards. With more than 1700 delegates expected, and 400 speakers, we are looking forward to lively debate and some fresh ideas.
