IBC2009

IBC returned to the RAI Centre in Amsterdam once again this year, with the conference running from Thursday 10 September to Monday 14 September, and the exhibition opening on Friday 11 September and closing on Tuesday 15 September.

With more than 1,300 of the leading technology manufacturers from around the world filling the 12 halls at the RAI, IBC was the place to be this September. Innovations at this year's event were all centered on helping you, the visitor, get the most value from your time at IBC. They included greatly expanded training opportunities, a conference programme realigned to address today's key issues, screenings and presentations, masterclasses, and networking opportunities.

All of these added to the centrepiece of IBC: a vibrant, comprehensive, accessible exhibition which brought together the world's vendors and attracted the world's users of technology for content creation, management and delivery.

"IBC is a barometer for international broadcasting development. Many international giants come to IBC, bringing with them the most advanced technologies and the ideas that will guide industry development forward." Ma Ju, ABS - SARFT, China.
