Brian Cox Announced As IBC2014 Keynote Speaker

Professor Brian Cox is to give the keynote address at this year's IBC Show in Amsterdam.

The physicist and broadcaster will take part in the IBC Conference keynote session 'Television's Expanding Universe' on Sunday 14 September.
"I'm very much looking forward to speaking at IBC2014. Television programmes like Carl Sagan's Cosmos and James Burke's Connections had a great influence on me when I was younger, and it's my view that television is still the most powerful and direct way of inspiring new generations of viewers," Professor Cox said.
"Integrating television with social media and the internet enhances that potential. But of course power comes with responsibility, and whilst we celebrate our continuing success, we must also take our responsibility to educate, inform and influence seriously. Can we still strive to be Reithian in today's multi-platform, multi-channel world? We'd better try if we want to remain relevant, influential, and successful."
The IBC2014 Conference is built around a series of streams and themes to help delegates navigate the sessions that are most relevant to them. IBC has developed a range of pass options to cater for their individual needs. From the exclusive VIP IBC experience of the Gold Pass to the all-access Silver Pass; five-session-access Bronze Pass and the single session conference add-on, all IBC passes include free admission to the five-day exhibition and the opportunity to meet over 1,500 key international suppliers filling the RAI's fourteen halls.
