IBC Content Everywhere: The intersection of broadcast and broadband remains centre stage

To complement this concentration of specialist vendors, the free-to-attend IBC Content Everywhere Stage offers a busy programme of panel discussions, demonstrations and presentations. The agenda is designed to help IBC visitors quickly get up-to-speed on the hottest topics and latest developments relevant to the delivery and consumption of content over the internet. 

In this year’s CE stage programme, exhibitors from Accedo to Zixi via Comcast, Dolby, Telstra, Yospace and Zattoo have put forward more than 80 speakers who will participate in 15 panel discussions and 40+ demos curated by IBC across the two Content Everywhere stages. One stage is in Hall 4 (stand 4.C20), the other in Hall 5 (stand 5.A28).   

On the opening Friday of IBC, a session on each stage will explore some of the macro trends in Content Everywhere worldwide.  A panel on Friday afternoon will look at how streaming in Europe is developing its own distinct accent compared with the north American market.  

Panels on Friday, Saturday and Monday will bring together a range of perspectives and experience to discuss the opportunities and challenges faced when migrating from legacy distribution technologies or updating and evolving OTT platforms to accommodate growth or support new services, experiences and business models.  

Other panels over the four days of the show will look at piracy/content security, ad-tech, cloud use cases, the importance of churn management and customer retention, and the relationship between production workflows and storage in an era of booming content production.  

Developments relating to the streaming of live sport will be covered in one panel on Saturday while another will look at innovations and opportunities arising from the delivery of other live streaming use cases. There will also be a panel discussing technologies and capabilities that give operators greater control of end-to-end service delivery over unmanaged networks. Artificial intelligence will, inevitably, be a recurring theme throughout the programme.  

Wherever possible, shorter product demonstrations, presentations and case studies have been scheduled around a panel on a related topic: this is intended to help visitors make the most of their time at the show by planning their agendas around blocks of sessions relevant to their interests.
