Delivering innovation and energising the market, IBC brings together the creative, technology and business communities to collaborate, and unlock new opportunities. More than 43,000 broadcasters, content owners, rights holders and service providers gather in Amsterdam every September for the IBC exhibition and conference, and this is where to experience the emerging technologies, topics and trends.

The IBC core pillars - Shifting Business Models, Transformative Tech, and People & Purpose – form a thread that runs through the entire event, from the innovations on the show floor, through to the features and content programmes.

Join our panel of industry experts and journalists will bring you up to speed with an overview of the outstanding themes.
