What started as an event in a London hotel has now grown into one of the leading international conventions for content creation, management and delivery.
The IBC technology trade show will mark four decades of exhibitions, technical conferences, creative workshops, business discussions, and training programs when it opens in September 2007 in Amsterdam.
This year's conference themes are: Broadcasting by Broadband, Digital Lifestyles, Content Production and D-Cinema.
Last year 'Hall 12' was opened to accommodate the demand from new exhibitors, and this year more floor space will be provided in a temporary building
. In addition to the Mobile Zone, the IPTV Zone is where the key players will be found demonstrating and talking about the technology, how to implement it, and how to benefit from it.
As well as the exhibition zone, IBC is driving the event with a business briefing session, which will be held over the weekend, based on a recent high profile digital signage case study.
The Training Zone returns once again this year, giving visitors the chance to spend hands-on time with the latest tools such as desktop editing, graphics and surround sound. The Big Screen Experience runs throughout IBC not just for the D-cinema theme day.
New last year and continued this year are the IBC Award for Innovation and the shortlist for this year's IBC Awards for Innovation will be announced shortly.
The organizers expect at least 45,000 visitors to IBC2007, so it's never too early to book a hotel room.
