IABM To Support Member Companies At NAB

IABM, the international trade association for broadcast and media technology suppliers, has announced it will support the 300+ member companies who are exhibiting at the NAB show in Las Vegas.

In addition, IABM is continuing its mission to drive collaboration between all sides of the industry through its Voice of the Customer event, State of the Industry breakfast session, leading a panel at Avid Connect and rewarding technology innovation with its BaM™ Awards party. IABM will also be distributing its Strategic Industry Analysis special report at the show, featuring up to the moment insight and analysis of the state and direction of the industry.

Voice of the Customer event – Sunday April 7, 3pm
The industry is moving away from transactional relationships to a new model where technology vendors and their end-user customers work together to solve problems in partnership. The IABM Voice of the Customer event is where all sides of the industry come together to discuss and define the future, and give delegates the insights they need to drive their business forward. The panel session features influential thought leaders from the leading edge of the broadcast and media industry lifting the lid on successful creative collaboration, illustrated with real-life case studies. Afterwards, there is a networking event where delegates can make new contacts and strengthen relationships. Venue, timings and free booking for this event here.

State of the Industry breakfast session – Monday April 8, 7.30am
The State of the Industry breakfast session features the latest IABM research, presented with commentary by IABM CEO, Peter White.

Stan Moote, IABM CTO, continues the session in conversation with industry innovators, both end-users and suppliers, who are successfully navigating these changes to deliver 'order' – and profitability – out of what has been initiated by ‘digital chaos’ but now has more far-reaching effects. Under the banner 'Innovative perspectives – building success in times of change', this session is a must-attend event; get the inside track from those who are already charting the course.

How cloud and AI are changing the B&M industry – at Avid Connect, Saturday April 6, 3.45pm
This panel session, led by Lorenzo Zanni, IABM Head of Insight & Analysis, will examine the business and workflow drivers behind the growth of cloud and AI as we move into a multi-platform world. The latest IABM data on technology buyers' AI/cloud adoption, preferences and challenges will underpin and inform the discussion.
