The IBC2025 Conference gave delegates an agenda-setting view of the industry’s most critical issues, from the rise of AI and new business models to sustainability and storytelling.

Sessions with speakers from ITV, Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery and other leading industry players and thought leaders drew standing-room-only audiences.

Icons like Thelma Schoonmaker, the multi-Oscar-winning film editor who worked with Martin Scorsese, and director Bernard MacMahon from the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary team brought creative inspiration – while the IBC Technical Papers once again provided rigorous insights into practical innovation.
