The IBC Accelerator Media Innovation Programme is rightly regarded as a keystone of the IBC Show each year.
As the core of Future Tech, it brings together organisations from across broadcast, streaming, live production, and media technology to explore emerging innovations that are transforming the future of content creation, distribution, and audience experience. Now there’s a new way to experience the nine IBC Accelerator projects up close and personal, in the form of Accelerator Spotlight 101. On this free-to-attend, dedicated tech-focused tour of the Accelerator Zone in Hall 14, attendees will gain exclusive access to the PoCs, hear directly from the teams building them, and get behind the thinking, challenges, and technical innovation driving each project.
The first Spotlight kicks off with Future Live Sports on Friday 11 September at 12:30, featuring the projects Delta Protocol, AI for Live Sports and Beyond, and Network Control.
Future Media Workflows, which covers Q-Stream, Smart Stories and FRAMES, starts at 12:30 on Saturday 12 September, while Future Media Production on Sunday 13 September casts the spotlight on Crystal Clear, VooPla, and Immersive Festival Live.
