Here you will find all the information you need to make the most of your time at IBC, before and during the show itself.

The Media Centre is specifically designed to provide an area in which you can both work and take a breather from your busy schedule.  In the Jade Lounge, you will find Exhibitor information and press packs, themed by Hall.  In this area you will also find a constant supply of complimentary non-alcoholic refreshments.

Whilst the entire Media Centre is wi-fi enabled, FOO 2 is fully equipped with computers, printers and tables for laptops.  There is an area of informal seating, together with two small private rooms, which can be used for meetings or interviews for up to six people. 

 If you would like to reserve these for use during the show, please contact Jan Dixon.
 

All applicants for Press accreditation have to verify their media status each year. Only members of the media who are reporting on or from the show to the wider global audience may apply.  Reporting internally to an industry organisation is not valid.

Bloggers are not eligible unless they can upload acceptable verification of their status.
 
Employees (engineers, managers, etc.) of television stations and similar organisations,  comprise thousands of IBC’s visitors and are not eligible for press accreditation.  They should apply for an exhibition vistor pass.

Photographers are not considered press unless they can prove that they are reporting on the show and verify who they are reporting for.
Photographers who have been commissioned to take photographs of exhibitors’ stands are not eligible and should apply to the appropriate exhibitor(s) for a visitor ticket.

Once Press Registration has been completed with credentials this will be sent to our press office for approval. Once approved you will receive a confirmation email containing a QR code, please bring this with you to the Jade Lounge when you arrive onsite.

About IBC in 200 words

Each September, the leading brands, finest minds and wisest investors come to IBC – the premier annual conference and exhibition for professionals engaged in the creation, management and delivery of entertainment and media content worldwide.

Each year, over 1,400 companies from around the world exhibit at IBC. They choose IBC because of its 50,000+ visitors, its track record of innovation with developing and driving new exhibitor opportunities, the 1,000+ journalists that visit the show every year, its carefully tailored networking opportunities, and its location in Amsterdam. That’s why IBC has become one of the most effective places to launch new products, raise corporate profiles, generate concrete sales leads and develop distribution channels in the industry.

IBC is spread across fourteen halls and includes innovative areas such as The IBC Connected World, IBC Workflow Solutions and The IBC Big Screen which showcases technology at the cutting edge.
In addition, the IBC Conference is the premier location worldwide for debate and analysis of the current state of the industry, and detailed discussion about the future paths it may take.  

All this, combined with the prestigious Awards ceremony makes IBC one of the most important dates on the calendar for the global electronic media industry.
