Dieter Engel, senior vice-president, Deutsche Telekom
“IBC is the most important show for me – more important than CES or NAB. 2009 has been even more relevant than last year. All the vendors who are important to me are here.”

Saul J Berman, global strategy and change services leader, IBM Global Business Services
“The IBC conference provides the platform for collaboration which will drive us to come up with the right business models for this evolving industry.”

Dick van Motman, president & CEO, DDB Greater China Group
“The IBC conference is enormous, and enormously rewarding. With more and more tech driving content, Marshall McLuhan has never been more relevant and it’s fantastic to see IBC making the move from tech to content in order to deliver a content creation experience.”

Rory Sutherland, vice-chairman, Ogilvy Group UK
“The IBC2009 conference was a tremendous event with, more important still, a great audience. The media world is always prone to atomise into small, homogenous groups, so a large event with a diversity of speakers and delegates is always a welcome breath of fresh air.”

Vir Sanghvi, editorial director, The Hindustan Times
“The IBC Conference gave me the opportunity to keep up with developments in the global broadcasting world and to speak to an audience of my peers. It provided enormous food for thought and greatly influenced my views and subsequent actions.”

David Hill, chairman and CEO, Fox Sports Television Group
“IBC is the most important media technology meeting in the world. There are a lot of elements to think about before 3D becomes the universal panacea that many believe it can be ... The IBC conference provides an international forum for pondering all the possibilities.”

Arnaud Simon, broadcast director, Eurosport and Eurosport 2
“The new technology in sports broadcasting is exciting because it opens up possibilities. The IBC Conference allows us to learn about and share in the experience of the new technology and devices that will inspire us to shape our future products.”
