IBC2004 Conference 9-13 September


The IBC2004 Conference will take place at the Amsterdam RAI from 9-13 September. Growing from its roots in broadcasting, IBC attracts 40,000 professionals involved in the creation, management and delivery of entertainment content worldwide. The IBC Conference is renowned for its opinion forming agenda and its ability to tackle the technology, business and craft-skill issues impacting on the business.

At IBC2004 the conference will incorporate five themed days, helping you to devote your time to the topics that matter to you. Complementing the theme days will be the rest of the conference which, as ever, covers the issues of the day in depth through a series of high quality papers, panels, workshops and tutorials. Again, these are practical as well as theoretical and will cover a diverse range of topics.

Conference Themes for 2004

The IBC2004 Conference will feature five major themes over five days. These themes are designed to allow you to focus your conference activity, with the aim of giving you more time to select other topics from our comprehensive programme and also allow plenty of time for you to investigate the associated and supporting technology on the exhibition floor.
