Update
IBC 2026 will occur in the Amsterdam RAI between the 11th and 14th of September 2026.
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.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your email.
ANUGA 2023 was successful. The hotel, 25hours Hotel The Circle was a great, convenient location. The staff was quite friendly and the breakfast was good. The drawback for me was very limited space to hang and store clothes. Also, the room not being equipped with an iron and ironing board was not ideal, but the front desk was able to supply upon request. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay.
Though it is still quite early, I suspect I will attend ANUGA 2025.

Hi Christine,
Thanks for everything, sorry for the confusion. I still own you a feedback from Hamburg. The Apartment Hotel - The location was not that bad, considering you are going there for the SMM show not for holiday. I had a subway station 10-12 min walk distance which was very useful , 3.20 Euro /day I was going back and forward from the exhibition center. - At the Hotel .base floor, they have a small restaurant and bar, but near the hotel at a 15m min range walk, you can find something to eat like, Pizza`s, McDonalds, Chinese Restaurant, Turkish Restaurant, German beer house with brezzels and sausages, etc - The room was a decent one, you can feel is an old Hotel by the building construction and the furniture vintage alike that gives you the impression of the `90`s, but they were clean, and looking good. - The room cleaning was ok, and also the guys from the front desk were quite polite and helpful. - Breakfast area was large which I like it the most, you did not feel crowded having many tables where to sit. The diversity was ok, nothing special, but looking clean and lots of personnel available for the coffer, table cleaning/arranging, etc - The down points are that rooms do not have A/C , the single room, has two small beds with separate mattresses put together, so if you want to roll over you will have a gap in the middle, so anyway you will use only one single bed. They say that the tap water is drinkable in Germany , but a hotel that respects its status, should offer complementary water bottle every day for the ones who prefer to stay safe, there wa sonly one 1L bottle at the first day and that`s it, I mean it costs 1Euro , you can add it to the room costs. The bathroom was only with liquid soap, no shower gel or shampoo. This is the most honest feedback you will get…
Best regards

Clean and comfortable hotel, with a good breakfast. Excellent connectivity to the show by Metro. Only 12 Euros for a 3 day ticket.

Dear Megan,
I hope you had a great weekend.
You were a big help to us for the last 4 years since I first contacted you regarding booking hotels for IDS.
If it weren't for your assistance, we would have had a hard time to make the show successful.
We went back and forth a lot and thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
I appreciate our collaboration and getting to know you.
Hope you have a great day and start to the week.
With warmest regards,
Phillip

Hello Megan,
DSEI was great. So many people and a lot of meetings. Yes it was great..
And I would like to tell you that cooperations with you was excellent!! Many thanks for everything what you did for me and also for my colleagues from CSG.
Now I dont know if we want the same hotel for the next edition.
The best thing on the hotel was, he is so close to exhibition centre. But if you will find something in the same price and also so close to exhibition – I dont care.
Megan I want to tell you one more – big thank you, what you did for us.

Mr. Phil Saddleton
Yes we are back from our trip and happy for you to pass on the below regarding Ashleys Gardens
We could walk from the venue to the Messe Dusseldorf exhibition centre which was a big advantage for us. So the location was key and a big tick.
The hotel is of course very old and the rooms are very small with no lift so up 2 flights of stairs with bags for everyone.
Restaurant is popular with the locals and often cannot fit you in for dinner and wont let you charge back to the rooms.
Staff are friendly and breakfast is good.
All the best.
