All sectors and disciplines across the media, entertainment and technology industry are invited to submit entries for IBC’s acclaimed Technical Papers, as submissions enter the final days ahead of the IBC2023 Conference.

With the final deadline just a week away, the last call for industry experts and thought leaders to submit a short synopsis of potential Technical Papers is now under way. Potential papers are rigorously vetted by an independent panel of experts, and will be presented at the IBC2023 Conference. 

>>Final call! Entries for 2023 can now be submitted at Technical Papers 2023 Submission<<

Previous winning Technical Papers from IBC2022 included ground-breaking research spanning from 8K Live VR at the Beijing Olympics, AI-created music, immersive audio at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in 2021 and greener streaming.

The Technical Papers Programme welcomes entries from all industry sectors, from professionals or professors, members of R&D teams, working alone or with a global brand and from across any part of the broadcast, communications, electronic media and entertainment fields. Papers accepted for presentation at the IBC2023 Conference have the opportunity to win the highly coveted Best Conference Paper Award, presented at the IBC2023 Awards.

Dr Paul Entwistle, Chair of IBC’s Technical Papers Committee, said: “It was great to be back at the RAI for IBC2022 last year, and what a fabulous turnout for our Technical Papers Programme — our session on Video Coding packed the room! AI/Machine learning was pervasive and particularly impressive in sports analytics. We also grappled with the creative and intellectual property challenges these techniques bring. VR/AR presented genuinely compelling enhancements for sports fans, and we began to see how 5G will impact content production.”

Entwistle noted: “We continue to showcase analytical insight into the cultural, social and environmental impact of our industry — where sustainability still has plenty to do, as we marry a responsible future with new innovations and a business need for service expansion. We sincerely appreciate the support the industry shows the Technical Papers Programme and look forward to showcasing authors whose work sits at the cutting-edge, challenges the norm, or shares useful and practical insight.”

IBC Technical Papers consistently present original, novel research on solutions to real world problems faced by the international broadcast and digital media industry and are non-commercial. At this initial stage, IBC is looking for a 300-word synopsis giving a clear and concise overview of the concept that will be the key topic of the paper, highlighting what is unique and explaining its background.

All submissions are rigorously reviewed by a panel of professional experts. Papers accepted for presentation at the IBC2023 Conference have the opportunity to win the highly coveted Best Conference Paper Award, presented at the IBC2023 Awards.

The deadline for submissions is Friday 10 February 2023. Entries can be submitted at Technical Papers 2023 Submission
