Testimonials

IBC is an essential event for professionals across the electronic media, broadcasting and entertainment industry. From editors to engineers, camera operators to CEOs, IBC provides attendees with valuable insights into the industry's latest technologies, techniques and applications, a roadmap to future developments, and excellent networking opportunities. For exhibitors, it provides a unique stage to reach a truly global audience and generate the highest best quality leads.

But don’t just take our word for it:

Anders Løkke, Projection Design
"As a first time exhibitor, IBC2009 far exceeded our expectations in terms of the quality of visitors and sales leads.  Exhibiting at the show gave us the means of getting in touch with new customers including major broadcasters, post houses, integrators, partners and many more. We were extremely impressed at their knowledge levels, expectations, understanding of our products and how they work in the content creation environment.  The general level of visitor technical knowledge was significantly higher as compared to other shows we go to. From my point of view, the IBC show is exactly what a trade show should be!"

Barbara Wilcox, MiraVid Inc.
"IBC provides an excellent venue to meet new and old acquaintances and business partners.   The opportunity for face-to-face discussions with key re-sellers and end-users is unmatched.  The MiraVid product line, once again, proved to shine and visitors were drawn to our TeleSight and MSight technology demonstrations. The feedback we receive from IBC attendees is invaluable.  We hope this year’s IBC event was as much for you as it was for us – Thank You." 

Nicole Balle, Carl Zeiss AG
"In the future, we from Carl Zeiss would like to strengthen our distribution network and the relationship to existing our partners in order to gain new market shares and expand our network. The IBC as an international venue of the cinematography and broadcasting industry is the perfect choice for us."

Chris Lay, Gigasat
"The show exceeded my expectations.  Its been a good show for us."

Dale Miller, Christie
"Year after year, IBC proves to be an inevitable event for Christie. This is the reason why we chose to launch our latest revolution, Christie Entero LED, this year at IBC. We couldn’t dream of a better place to present it, as it brought us the best visibility."

Gary Symons, VeriCorder Technology Inc.
"We are a new company, and this was our first time at IBC. I was blown away by the number and the quality of the business leads we took away from the show. People who go to IBC are serious about doing business, and we received great support before, during and after the tradeshow.

As a result, we added literally dozens of new customers to our sales pipeline. Our biggest challenge now is to meet the demand. I'm already reserving my space for next year. Thank you IBC!"

Oliver Botti, TXT Polymedia
"A great show at IBC 2009. We had an impressive number of high quality contacts. People with clear needs and goals visited our stand, experienced our solutions and engaged in a followup after the event, with our sales team. Definitely there again in 2010!"

Michael Strey, VAD
“Everybody comes to IBC. It is a magnet for our main markets of Europe and Asia. But the organisation this year has been especially excellent, allowing us even more opportunity to distribute VAD's products  and engage with our sales partners.”

Ans Tambuyzer, Philips
“IBC2009 has been our best IBC show ever.  Our contacts were very good and promising leads have been established at the show. IBC is definitely one of the most important shows for us to exhibit at.”

Martin Bennett, Digital Vision
"This year the feeling at IBC was very positive and the level of serious customers very high.  Digital Vision’s stand traffic and leads were the best they have been at a major show in the past two years, so there are definite signs of the industry starting to recover after a very difficult year. One of the major themes at IBC again was 3D content production and delivery, with many manufacturers including ourselves offering innovative products and tools that will see this market continue to expand.  There was also increased interest in content restoration and archiving with customers looking to digitise film and video stock ready for future use via different delivery."

Mari Fogelberg, Net Insight
“We will definitely be back in 2010. IBC2009 was a big success for us, we had great meetings with customers, partners as well as new contacts and had the opportunity to demonstrate the new features of our media-rich transport solution, the Nimbra platform .”

Yiannis Nikolakopoulos, Telmaco
"IBC2009 was another outstanding show for our company as we had the opportunity to be part of one of the world's leading events for the electronic media industry. IBC is the place to meet existing and potential customers, explore new partnerships and to see the latest technologies. For our company IBC is a must."

Tim Langridge, Appear TV
‘’IBC has a special and strategic position amongst all the shows that Appear TV attend. It once again proved to be a very valuable exhibition for new business development and for our new product launches. Based on the overall success at IBC2009, we are now very much looking forward to the 2010 addition.’’

Bruno Sargeant, Autodesk, Inc.
“The IBC Exhibition is the stage from where we broadcast to a local and global audience.  We delivered our message locally on the show floor and online through our online community.  This year IBC was a great opportunity to promote the success of our recently launched products to the European market — including Flare, a software-only creative companion to Flame and our new software Suites which offer an affordable set of comprehensive 3D modeling, animation, and rendering solution right out of the box.”

Nicolas Bourdon, EVS
“At IBC2009 we witnessed really impressive ways to captivate high-quality audiences from the broadcast industry. The success of the show this year confirms the importance to integrate it as an entire element of our marketing plan, where all elements of communication and marketing continue to converge.”

Raoul Cospen, Dalet
“IBC does a tremendous job in organising a show that mindfully locates the stands so that they really connect with visitors. Customers come to get educated as well as find products to buy and sell. There’s so much else to enjoy, such as the awards ceremony, which creates an extra ambience. It’s also a great opportunity to talk to our partners - it’s where we come to define our strategy. IBC is certainly the most important broadcast show in Europe.”

Marcus Brooke, Sonifex Ltd
“If I could only do one show a year it would be IBC, as it's the best. Superb!”

Donna Tal, Amos Spacecom
“Being a center of attraction to many of the industries' decision makers and to Spacecom's  current clients, agents and representatives, the IBC exhibition has become the single most important event of our company every year. Consequently Spacecom conducts many of its annual customer and marketing  events during the period of IBC, and it always works out for the best.”

Anshul Gupta, WASP3D
“We had a wonderful IBC. In fact, we saw more serious buyers this time than ever before. We showcased our touch-gesture based non-linear broadcast presentation tool, WASPi Mimosa which received a phenomenal response from stalwarts in the television and broadcast industry. IBC is truly a global show that brings the broadcasters and technology providers together on a common platform.” 

Nadra Mohy el Dine, Irdeto
“We will be at IBC next year. This is still THE show for our industry!” 

Robert Watson, IDX Technology Europe
“I would say that purely from a networking point of view the booth at IBC 2009 was a highly worthwhile investment.  The type of face-to-face communication and discussions it allows us to have with both distributors and end-users is a key part of our marketing strategy, which allows us to build up relationships that deliver repeat business year on year.” 

Darrell Haber, Open TV
“OpenTV was able to conduct a significant amount of business due to the quality of the contacts at IBC this year. The majority of our customers and partners agreed that the contacts and meetings were far superior than in previous years. As a result of IBC, we were able to cost effectively touch almost all our customers and partners. We were also able to conduct productive meetings with members of the media, resulting in great coverage of our IBC news. OpenTV will definitely be back in 2010.” 

Olaf Siem, FUJINON (EUROPE) GmbH
“Fujinon has always used the IBC show to exhibit new products which is an additional important reason for dealers and end-users alike to visit our stand. Reviewing our experiences we are pleased to confirm that the IBC show has always played an important part in getting an excellent overview of the broadcast and cine market as well as using the opportunity to plan ahead for future strategies with existing and new business contacts."

Muzaffer Beygirci, MainConcept
"IBC is the global platform for MainConcept to showcase it's innovative codec technologies and transcoding application portfolio. As we do serve many different markets, we are delighted with the breadth of visitors, both in terms of geographical spread and numbers, and the wide range of sectors represented. We feel quite satisfied with the organization onsite and Amsterdam as the show location is perfect and reflects the open spirit of the broadcast industry and our company. For MainConcept the IBC is a 'must exhibit'." 

Jim Kamke, Newport Media Inc
“IBC is an excellent venue for NMI to showcase its latest receiver technology and meet with key decision makers from throughout the global Mobile TV industry.”
