Technical Papers Process

Technical Papers present original, novel research on solutions to real-world problems faced by the international broadcast and digital media industry, and are not overtly commercial in-tone (Tech Paper Guidelines). They can be about any relevant industry topic, but we encourage submissions on the topics that are of most current interest to the IBC audience.
