IABM is the international trade association for the broadcast and media industry. It facilitates the all-important networking and interaction that shape and define the unique ecosystem of the broadcast and media technology industry. Members are kept informed through an extensive infrastructure of services and facilities to encourage discussion and collaboration across the whole BaM supply chain.

IEEE BTS is the Broadcast Technology Society within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Its aim is to drive the advancement of technology in the industry, while enhancing the professional knowledge of its members by keeping them informed of the latest research results and their practical applications. The society has around 2000 members and chapters worldwide.
Bill Hayes, past president, IEE BTS, sits on the IBC board.
IET – the Institution of Engineering and Technology – is dedicated to inspiring, informing and influencing the global engineering community to engineer a better world. Its membership consists of more than 154,000 engineering and technology professionals in 148 countries. The IET in its current form has existed since 2006, but its roots can be traced as far back as 1871 with the creation of the Society of Telegraph Engineers.
IET is represented on the IBC board by Director of Knowledge Services & Solutions, Giles Grant.
RTS, the Royal Television Society, is an educational charity promoting the art and science of television. It is open to anyone with an interest in the medium. Originally founded as the Television Society in 1927, the society was granted its royal title in 1966. The society now has over 3500 full members and is supported by global broadcasters, producers and consultants.
RTS CEO Teresa Wise represents the society on the IBC board, bringing in-depth knowledge of the real issues affecting broadcasters and media enterprises.
SCTE – the Society for Broadband Professionals – is a professional body whose aim is to raise the standard of broadband engineering in the telecommunications industry. Although its pedigree comes from the cable TV arena, its remit also covers delivery of content over the ‘last mile’, including coax, twisted pair, wireless and fibre.
Long-standing IBC supporter Dr Roger Blakeway, SCTE CEO, is an IBC board member, bringing commercial as well as technical experience in the proliferation of new content distribution platforms.
SMPTE, a global society of media professionals, technologists and engineers, is perhaps best known as the most important standards- setting body in the industry. Its more than 800 engineering standards and guidelines are developed to advance global interoperability of hardware and software. The Society fosters a diverse and engaged membership from both the technology and creative communities, delivering educational offerings, technical conferences, exhibitions and more.
