This year we have developed a number of new initiatives to make it even easier for you to plan your trip to IBC and have a smooth experience when you arrive in Amsterdam and go onsite. Plan your trip to IBC2024 now to save money, secure the best accommodation and maximise your ROI.
BEFORE YOU GO ONSITE
IBC2024 Mobile App
The mobile app gives you the functionality to view and book meetings with exhibitors before the show. You can also check out the session agenda and customise your schedule, as well as being able to view the interactive floor plan. This will help you navigate your way around the exhibitions when you are onsite and get around easily.
During IBC Show days, Schiphol Airport gets very busy. Use the Mobile App's travel page for IBC shuttle times, flight status, and wait times at security and passport control.
Download the IBC2024 Mobile App now:
If you are flying to Amsterdam then please download the Schiphol app. This will show flights departure and any delays. It will also display waiting times at security. You are also able to ease your transition through the airport by prebooking a security check slot.
