The call for technical papers is now open for the IBC2025 conference, which takes place at RAI Amsterdam from 12-15 September.
The Technical Papers Programme showcases novel research from forward-thinking technologists, academics and organisations – with papers presented to global media industry leaders hungry for new technology concepts, their possible uses and practical applications.
The programme welcomes entries from all sectors across the media, entertainment and technology industry. Entries can come from every discipline, whether the entrant is a professional or a professor, a member of an R&D team, working alone or with a global brand – from across any part of the broadcast, communications, electronic media and entertainment fields.
At this stage, IBC is looking for a 300-word synopsis giving a clear and concise overview of the key topic of your paper – deadline for submissions is Friday 7 February 2025. Entries can be submitted here.
Dr Paul Entwistle, chair of IBC’s Technical Papers Committee, said: “Unsurprisingly, AI was our most popular Technical Papers session at IBC2024 – where we covered facial recognition, machine-learning in news and the iterative use of generative AI for targeted advertising. This was closely followed by our session on streaming – where the audience learnt how cricket was concurrently streamed to 59 million viewers in India. We also presented strong sessions covering XR including neural radiance fields, provenance and trust, 5G both technical advances and field trials, advances in video-coding, and sustainability. All a reminder of the breadth of technologies impacting our industry.”
