      IBC2018 concludes with visitor figures exceeding 55k

      The exhibition reportedly grew by 667m2 and conference delegates were up by 14% year on year. Significantly, women speakers at the conference were up from 14% to 37%.

      Michael Crimp, IBC’s CEO.

      IBC2018 concludes with visitor figures of 55,884. The exhibition reportedly grew by 667m2 and conference delegates were up by 14% year on year. Significantly, women speakers at the conference were up from 14% to 37%.

      The IBC International Honour for Excellence saw its first-ever woman recipient this year. Joan Ganz Cooney was the co-creator of the global phenomenon that is Sesame Street, 50 years ago and her trophy was collected on her behalf by one of the street’s longest residents, Ernie.

      The IBC App has provided networking opportunities, with more than 91,000 interactions on the matchmaking platform. In addition, IBC reportedly trended number one on Twitter in the Netherlands on several days of the convention, with 185 million potential impressions and over 250,000 video views. Engagement with IBC has also increased on a year-round basis with IBC365 – the site now has more than 55,000 subscribers averaging 49,000 active users per month.

      Commenting on the show’s performance, Michael Crimp, IBC’s CEO, said: “The show is about engagement, engagement, engagement. The stats are up in almost all areas and re-bookings are ahead of last year. IBC is much more than a trade show, we have developed a basket of data-driven statistics including sales leads generated on stands, conference attendance and IBC365 views and this sharing of information is pivotal to the longevity of IBC’s success and sits at the core of the organisation.”

      “All of the initiatives this year have been aimed at bringing together the best minds, the original thinkers, to network and share their knowledge. As all communication becomes video and audio, IBC continues to be the place to debate the future of media, technology and entertainment,” added Crimp.

      Guiding the renewed focus this year was a new content steering group, drawn from across the industry, and chaired by Keith Underwood, Chief Operating Officer at Channel 4 in the UK.

      Elaborating on the content, IBC head of content Jaisica Lapsiwala, said: “This year, we have worked closely with the industry to create a programme that is not only reflective of the changes in the ecosystem, but which also paves a path forward for our industry. This has resulted in an engaging and diverse 2018 edition of IBC. An example of this was our Global Gamechangers day which brought creative, technology and business chiefs such as Zahra Rasool from Al Jazeera, Peter Salmon from Endemol and Lindsay Pattison from WPP to the stage. Threaded through the programme were the cutting-edge technologies transforming the industry. Blockchain is a great example, with a keynote from Kim Jackson of Singular DTV and papers from people who are already implementing it, like Éric Minoli of Groupe Média TFO.”

      Alongside the conference, IBC hosted three invitation-only executive forums. The Leaders’ Forum looked to the future, considering what the new ecosystem could be following consolidation, acquisition and collaboration. The Cyber Security Forum considered not just the threats but how to respond to them. New to the programme this year was the Telco and Media Innovation Forum, a vital point of debate as the boundaries between media and communication blur.

      IBC was the venue for an examination of the intersection of craft and technology in The Big Screen. Sessions included an in-depth look at the effects in Game of Thrones and Pixar’s Dominic Glynn talking about the animation marvel that is The Incredibles 2 – and how things have changed in the 14 years since the original movie.

      The Future Zone saw the addition of a theatre stage, presented by one of IBC’s owners, IABM, with a rolling programme of presentations discussing the ideas in more detail.

      As well as the IBC Big Screen, the IABM Future Trends Theatre and the Content Everywhere Hub, staged presentations and enlarged on-stand meeting areas. IBC2019 starts with the first day of conference sessions on Thursday 12 September, running until the exhibition closes on Tuesday 17 September.
