COVID Update

The IBC Partnership Board has postponed IBC 2021 from its original slot in September to early December as a way to organise a safer event. Organisers hope that the best COVID-19 preventive measures in combination with growing vaccination rates will increase the chances for a successful edition.

IBC 2021 is now to take place December 3^rd – December 6^th at the Amsterdam RAI in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The exhibition halls will be in full compliance with government health and sanitation protocols. Another important fact – IBC 2021 will be the first event held as a hybrid edition. You have options to participate in the proceedings online! 

Calling Card 

In Europe, there’s no trade show for the broadcasting, electronic media and entertainment industry more important and popular than IBC. The international event is the premier meeting place for the biggest players in European markets and abroad, and it’s become even more relevant now that we live in a Renaissance for streaming technologies. Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, this annual event turns the city into a hot spot for creative types and back-the-scene personnel in September. IBC runs out of Amsterdam RAI and activities last for a total of five days. The international trade show is where you can see all major technological developments in broadcasting. Naturally, this makes it the perfect platform for exhibitors to make sales and expand their market reach across new territories.
