With innovation continuing apace across the media and entertainment industry, visitors to IBC2025 won’t want to miss the all-new Future Tech hub located in Hall 14.

Running across three days, from 12-15 September, the IBC2025 Conference is set to welcome visionary speakers, industry leaders and innovators to tackle some of the biggest talking points across the media and entertainment industry.

Last week saw the first IBC365 roundtable hosted at NAB.

The latest advances in AI-based personalisation were the topic of an IBC365 roundtable held at NAB earlier this week.

Mike Crimp, IBC CEO, discusses the organisation’s progress in terms of ESG and reveals plans to make the show as sustainable as possible.

For those heading to Amsterdam to make new connections and meet contacts old and new, there are networking opportunities aplenty – with some happening even before the show starts.

From the biggest names in M&E technology, to innovative startups and first-time exhibitors, more than 1250 companies are preparing to showcase their latest products and solutions on the IBC2024 showfloor.

Last night saw the winners of IBC’s Innovation Awards and Social Impact Awards revealed in two ceremonies at the RAI.

In addition to a comprehensive content programme and more than 1000 exhibitors showing their latest innovations, there are also multiple opportunities for visitors to IBC2023 to make new connections and catch up with contacts thanks to a whole host of networking events throughout the show.
