IBC features the most innovative technology, business models and creative techniques in the broadcast and media industry.
We're looking for innovation from across the industry that showcase genuinely-new innovation, cutting-edge research and ground-breaking projects.
Whether you're in R&D, a developer, engineer, product manager or project leader from a media or technology business, there's a chance to feature your innovation on the industry's biggest stage.
Call for Innovation
IBC has four ways for you to showcase your innovation:
Join the IBC Accelerator Media Innovation programme
Fast-track, collaborative projects addressing complex media and entertainment business and technology challenges, demonstrating business value through an open R&D approach. Media and broadcast companies provide the challenge and use cases, collaborating with technology and service providers to deliver a working proof of concept showcased at IBC 2020.
Submit a Technical Paper for peer review
IBC Technical Papers allow forward-thinking technologists and companies to unveil their original ideas and research to media industry leaders. New technology concepts, their potential uses and practical applications are revealed. Only the highest-quality research is included, with all submissions rigorously reviewed by a panel of professional experts.
2020 Tech Papers are now closed.
Present a case study or seminar within the IBC Conference
Original media technology ideas and ground-breaking projects, solutions and content products are featured within the IBC Conference programme where an interactive case study or knowledge-sharing seminar is more appropriate than a Technical Paper. The same rigorous selection process applies, including only the most relevant, original work.
Enter the IBC Innovation Awards
Celebrating collaboration in technology and creativity, the most exciting, high-impact innovative projects transforming the broadcast and media industry are recognised through IBC Innovation Awards. Winning projects reflect close cooperation between technology users and their supplier partners to deliver a clever, innovative solution to a real business, technical or creative issue.
Awards entries open in March 2020
