IBC, headquartered in the United Kingdom and established in 1967, serves as a key annual event for professionals involved in the creation, management, and delivery of electronic media. It has evolved from its technical broadcast roots to cover the full spectrum of media workflows, spanning online content, digital cinema, automated processes, and high-resolution capture and display. As the principal industry gathering, the show draws more than 43,000 attendees from over 170 countries. IBC365 provides year-round access to industry insights, linking about 1,300 exhibitors with around 45,000 visitors and supporting ongoing knowledge exchange. It is owned by six industry partners representing both exhibitors and attendees, with leadership drawn from organizations including IABM, IET, IEEE Broadcast Technology Society, RTS, SCTE, and SMPTE. One recent development is the announcement of Kickstart Day for 2026, planned to take place at the BBC Radio Theatre, featuring a selection process for on-stage pitches.
