Knowledge on every level


IBC attracts thought leaders from across the industry and around the world. Bringing them together to share knowledge on technology, policy, economics and creativity is the DNA of IBC. These decision-makers come to IBC


because it is the forum which sets the agenda for the industry. Our many- stranded conference allows knowledge to be shared on every level. The IBC Leaders’ Summit brings


together top executives together for a closed door session. In private they talk about the real issues driving the industry forward – and perhaps limiting its growth. This publication brings together the


views of many of the delegates to the Summit. Other contributors gave keynote addresses in the main IBC conference. Matt Brittin, president of Google


Europe, talks about his company’s relationship with broadcast; visual effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull looks at some of the technological advances which may drive the future of film-making; David Abraham of Channel 4 in the UK discusses the evolution of


the broadcaster’s online strategies; and Professor Brian Cox OBE talks about the responsibility of programme-makers to their public. This is a time of enormous change for


the electronic media industry. We have passed the tipping point from an industry defined by its technology to a world of connectivity driven by consumers expecting content everywhere. IBC 2014 focused heavily on this


issue, and that debate will continue in our new series of IBC Content Everywhere events covering Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and Latin America. Are we seeing the death of broadcasting or the renaissance of content production? I hope that you find the IBC Executive


Daily stimulating reading, and that it gives you a flavour of the environment we have created at IBC. On behalf of the whole IBC team I wish you a successful passage through the seas of change, and I hope to see you here in Amsterdam for IBC2015.


Michael Crimp, CEO, IBC
