The IABM to Reveal Exclusive Insight into the Future of the Broadcast Industry

(21/08/2014) The IABM will hold a must-attend conference session at the forthcoming IBC 2014 event between 0800-0930 on Friday 12 September at Room E102, RAI Amsterdam, focusing on the potential impact the new era of convergence will have on the technology supply infrastructure.

The IABM breakfast session, entitled What future for broadcast technology? will be chaired by John Ive, the organisation's Director of Business Development & Technology, with the lead presentation delivered by Chief Executive, Peter White. One of the highlights of this one-off event will be a panel debate, with insights from a selection of the industry's leading Presidents and CEOs.

Renowned industry figures Charlie Vogt, President, Imagine Communications & Gates Air; Marco Lopez, President, Grass Valley; Ray Cross, Executive Chairman and CEO, Quantel; and Dan Castles, President/CEO, Telestream will also be on hand to give their views and predictions as hardware moves further towards becoming a commodity.

Peter White, chief executive, IABM says: As the value and margins in broadcast hardware is rapidly becoming a commodity, the industry's suppliers are now having to seriously consider embracing software and service orientated business models. Many leading technology supply companies are future-proofing their businesses and there is an expectation that mergers and acquisitions activity will really step up in this area.

As people plan their schedules ahead of IBC, this is an important event for any business affected by these changes. The informative conference session will provide further insight into the future of this sector, we have carried out our own research and will be revealing a range of objective data and analysis.

The event is open to all and commences at 08:00h, coffee and a light breakfast will be available for attendees from 07:30h.
