IBC365 is the year-round digital companion to the most unmissable event in the M&E calendar – IBC. Created ‘by the industry for the industry’, IBC has reflected the continued evolution of the M&E and tech space for nearly six decades, with the years ahead set to be the most disruptive ever seen.
IBC365 furthers the excellent work undertaken at the show, continuing the conversation around proof of concepts, demonstrations, and theoretical advances year-round. It’s also the digital home of the IBC Accelerator Media Innovation Programme and Technical Papers Programme, two future-facing initiatives that attract the biggest and brightest minds from across the industry.
Outside of its comprehensive exhibition and conference coverage, IBC365 is the go-to platform for all developments within the M&E universe, delivering exclusive news, reports and thought leadership daily, with insight into the most pressing issues faced by broadcasters, content platforms, Big Tech and academia.
IBC365 is also a resource for learning! Discover our newly launched Tutorial videos, where each series follows a key theme or topic, breaking down complex jargon and sharing valuable knowledge across three easily digestible episodes. Don’t miss our latest walkthroughs on topics ranging from the use of game engines in virtual production to the importance of metadata in content discovery.
Prefer learning on the go? We’ve got you covered with our Accelerating Innovation Podcast series, hosted by Omar Mehtab (from the BBC’s acclaimed technology show Click, Panorama and News at Six and Ten) who brings his expertise and dynamic personality across six tech-packed episodes.
