Visiting IBC has almost become an annual pilgrimage for the BroadcastPro team and is a time not just for bonding with the industry but between ourselves as well. This year was a proud moment for the team as IBC had chosen me to join its panel of judges for its Innovation Awards. For a magazine that has been around for only three years, this was indeed a huge honour and is testament to the untiring efforts we have made as a team towards developing BroadcastPro ME as a leading publication worthy of respect in the MENA market.
Perhaps the greatest honour as a judge was to be privy to some of the projects that are being undertaken across the world by various broadcasters as well as public service companies. It was interesting to note that while some of these broadcasters innovated within their companies to improve their workflows or provide a new service to their customers, there were others who regularly innovated as part of their investigative journalism and to bring culprits to book. The varied ways in which people used broadcast technologies and mixed them with creative ideas from other industries to achieve a higher goal was a serious eye opener and a huge privilege.
My congratulations to each of the IBC 2013 award winners. Speaking about awards, the Broadcast team at CPI is now working in full gear to ensure another successful edition of our annual ASBU BroadcastPro Summit and Awards. This event has gained a reputation over the last two years for bringing together some of the finest talent in the region to share their knowledge while also offering a platform to celebrate some of the best innovations and projects, as well as providing networking opportunities. I hope you will support this effort by registering to attend at www.broadcastprome.com/summitandawards2013.
Entrance has been deliberately kept free so that information and knowledge can be easily shared. We look forward to seeing you on November 12 at The Address Marina Dubai.
