Interview

Will Kreth, CEO at Human and Digital (HAND), shares his thoughts on tracking and identifying digital talent and embracing AI in the supply chain.

Luke Seraphin, Head of Diversity & Inclusion, Sky Original Programming tells IBC365 that meaningful change is happening but full inclusivity is work in progress.

In a surprise move, the DPP recently unveiled Rowan de Pomerai as the new CEO with immediate effect, with former CEO Mark Harrison transitioning into the role of Founder and Chief Content Officer (CCO). Harrison was CEO since the DPP was first created in 2015 and oversaw the organisation’s move to full independence in October 2022. De Pomerai operated as CTO since 2018, working with Harrison and COO Kelvin Jones to shape the DPP’s strategy. IBC365 spoke with the new CEO and CCO to shed some light on the move.

Marco Lopez, VP, Research & Development at Clear-Com, discusses the launch of the company’s new cloud-based intercom system – Gen-IC Cloud Intercom, a secure and flexible virtual intercom solution that enables users to easily integrate on-premise hardware with virtual intercom clients. According to Lopez, the system will be a gamechanger for remote and distributed production across live events and touring, or even broadcast productions.

One of the core questions being asked at ISE’s Content Production & Distribution Summit was if brands and corporations were becoming the new broadcasters? IBC365 caught up with some key voices across the industry to learn more about the convergence of the ProAv and broadcasting sectors.

According to IABM’s Lorenzo Zanni, the convergence of broadcast with different industries is partly to blame for the ongoing talent shortage as certain transferable skills are in demand across the board. Rather than reverting to salary battles, one solution could be for the broadcast sector to play to its strengths when hiring and training. Zanni was a guest speaker on the ‘Insights & Trends Panel’ discussion taking place as part of ISE’s Content Production & Distribution Summit.

Futurist Amelia Kallman tells 365 how big brands and corporations are becoming the new broadcasters.

As AI finds its niche in the industry, this year could see the breakout of AI tools and use cases that manifest into useful customer facing solutions. According to Tom Crocker, Director, Business Development for production tech specialist Ross Video, work is already well underway to incorporate AI with some of its products.

According to Abi Hemingway, Managing Director at online broadcasting specialist Jackshoot, one of the dominant trends at ISE this year was the convergence of high-end broadcast tech into a more corporate ProAV sector. Hemingway was a guest speaker at ISE’s Content Production & Distribution Summit, where she explored how a modern brand becomes a broadcaster.
