IBC has announced that the call for Technical Papers is now open for the IBC2025 Conference.
IBC is globally renowned for the quality, timeliness, and innovative subject matter of its Technical Papers. The Technical Papers Programme provides an exceptional opportunity for forward-thinking technologists and companies to unveil their ideas and research to media industry leaders eager for new technology concepts, their potential uses, and practical applications.
The Programme welcomes submissions from all sectors of the media, entertainment, and technology industries. Entries can come from every discipline, whether the author is a professional or professor, a member of a research and development team, working alone or with a global brand – from any area of the broadcast, communications, electronic media, and entertainment fields.
Dr Paul Entwistle, Chair of IBC’s Technical Papers Committee, commented: “Unsurprisingly, AI was our most popular Technical Papers session at IBC2024 – where we covered facial recognition, machine learning in news, and the iterative use of generative AI for targeted advertising. This was closely followed by our session on streaming – where the audience learnt how cricket was concurrently streamed to 59 million viewers in India. We also presented strong sessions covering XR, including neural radiance fields, provenance and trust, 5G technical advances and field trials, video coding developments, and sustainability. All of this is a reminder of the breadth of technologies impacting our industry.”
The Technical Papers are available on IBC365, with the very best showcased in a joint publication with the IET, The Best of IET and IBC 2024, which can be found on IBC365 or the IET website.
IBC Technical Papers present unpublished technical disclosures of original, novel research and/or innovation focused on real-world challenges faced by the international broadcast and digital media industry. At this initial stage, IBC is looking for a 300-word synopsis providing a clear and concise overview of the key topic of your paper, evidencing what is unique and novel, and explaining its background.
“Technical disclosures can also include new analytical insights into the cultural, social, and environmental impact of our industry – for instance, as AI continues to impress, its impact on human creativity, intellectual rights, and jobs is less clear,” Entwistle noted. “IBC sincerely appreciates the support the industry shows the Technical Papers Programme and looks forward to showcasing authors whose work sits at the cutting edge, challenges the norm, or shares useful and practical insight.”
All submissions are rigorously reviewed by a panel of professional experts. Papers accepted for presentation at the IBC2025 Conference have the opportunity to win the highly coveted Best Conference Paper Award, which will be presented at the IBC2025 Awards.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, 7 February 2025. Entries can be submitted via this link.
