IBC2023 unveils headline speakers and content pillars

IBC2023 announces a world-class line-up of headline speakers from across the media, entertainment and technology sector, along with the underlying content pillars running through this year’s show, which takes place in the RAI Amsterdam on 15th -18 th September. The content at this year’s event is underpinned by three fundamental pillars: Transformative Tech, Shifting Business Models and People and Purpose – themes that will fuel learning, discussion and collaboration in presentations, demonstrations and panel sessions across the IBC Conference, the show floor theatres, and the IBC Changemakers Programme.

Michael Crimp, IBC’s Chief Executive Officer, says: “IBC continues to evolve and grow with the industry. We are actively listening to our community on what they want out of a modern trade show. Among the things they are telling us they want are new topics and new ways of learning – and our content pillars give us the scope to provide these. They form a compelling thread that runs through the talks, presentations and panels going on at the conference and at show-floor venues across the RAI. They create a clear focus for an exciting slate of visionary speakers to address the most pressing trends, issues, opportunities and challenges in media and entertainment today.”

The 2023 IBC Conference (in the Forum at the RAI on the 15th and 16 th of September) brings together some of the industry’s most influential thought leaders to present talks, panel discussions and the IBC Technical Papers. The 2023 IBC Conference, which is a paid part of the event, will offer the usual standard Delegate Pass, which includes entrance to all the event’s presentations, and a new Premium Pass that provides access to additional content plus exclusive networking in the Premium Lounge – where the IBC Innovations Awards will also take place.

The conference will explore core trends and technologies shaping the future of media and entertainment (M&E). It kicks off with an address by ‘Media Universe Cartographer’ Evan Shapiro, a renowned industry influencer who maps M&E trends and future developments. Shapiro will lead a session entitled ‘Plotting the effects of disruption: Charting the new media ecosystem’. BCS Bureau
