ach September, IBC brings the world’s
electronic media and entertainment
industry together in Amsterdam to
challenge, direct and set the industry’s agenda.
Staged by the industry for the industry, IBC
says it spotlights and drives future trends,
technologies, innovations and business models,
delivering a comprehensive event that is
relevant to the changes and challenges faced by
its attendees.
Over 52,000 attendees from more than 170
countries come to IBC to experience all aspects of the
creation, management and delivery of all electronic
media and entertainment content in this rapidly
changing multiplatform and multiscreen world. From
the inspiration of the world-leading forum of the IBC
Conference to
the excitement
of free-toattend feature
events and the
experience of
meeting over
1,500 key
international
suppliers that
fill the IBC’s
fourteen hall
Exhibition, IBC
provides an
unrivalled
environment
for attendees to connect across countries, technologies
and industry sectors.
The IBC Conference is a world-leading forum for
debate and knowledge exchange, uniting a mix of
visionary keynotes, panel discussions and master
classes with the most influential thought leaders,
opinion formers and cutting edge organisations
shaping the industry’s future. Each day of the IBC2014
Conference will tell a different chapter of the
innovation story of the broadcast industry, enabling
delegates to identify and attend the key sessions
relevant to their needs. Key themes from each day will
echo throughout the different streams, with each
providing a unique angle and focus - whether technical,
strategic or operational.
IBC2014 will also host IBC Content Everywhere
Europe, the first in a global series of events spanning
Europe, MENA and LATAM. Launching at IBC2014
and taking place throughout the fourteen halls of the
show, IBC Content Everywhere Europe has been
created to help professionals from the broadcast,
telecommunications, online and IT sectors seize the
new opportunities being created by the explosive
growth in the consumption of TV and video content on
IP-connected smartphones, tablets and laptops.
