Preface
The Amsterdam RAI hosts the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC or IBC Amsterdam) once per year. The organiser’s same-named site is also the IBC Amsterdam’s venue of choice. The IBC is among the media and broadcasting industry's most pivotal events. This is because it provides an opportunity to learn about the most up-to-date innovations. Attendees can also network and show their latest products at the event.
IBC is also the central source of information for experts seeking to expand their knowledge. This includes content writers, media technology and production specialists, and music directors. This, similarly, applies to editors, videography experts, radio specialists, media companies, and artists. Likewise, the event is essential for news analysts, sound mix specialists, and broadcasters. This similarly applies to proofreaders, media producers, business and creative executives. Broadcast/sound/audio/recording engineers, project coordinators, animators, and equipment technicians likewise attend. So do content acquisition and production companies.
As a result of its importance, the IBC conference in Amsterdam receives a diverse and extensive participant group. For instance, one edition featured more than 56 000 attendants. This included more 1 700 exhibitor firms and over 30 000 high-ranking executives. More than 150 nations visit the IBC, including the USA, France, China, Argentina, and South Africa.
