Collaborate
Adapt for Change.
Under the banner “Transform. Streamline. Collaborate: Adapt for Change”, this session goes to the heart of industry transformation, driven by the move to direct-to-consumer. Broadcast and Media companies are transforming into media factories, streamlined for maximum efficiency and agility, all underpinned by deeper collaboration with technology providers and competition with peers.
With speakers drawn from all sides of the industry, underpinned by analysis in the IABM Special Report, this virtual North America themed event will dig deep into industry trends and feature media organizations discussing their technology needs and priorities, pipeline projects and obstacles to overcome. We’ll also hear about a real-life collaboration to deliver a stunning new project, how technology vendors are transforming their businesses to align with end-users’ changing requirements and learn how one of the world’s largest media companies is building a next-generation, large scale facility.

Designing a next-generation, large scale facility
Cloud, IP, data centers, AI, new workflows, remote productions, collaboration – these are just some of the key drivers of our industry today, and they are all in a constant state of development. So how do you design and build a next-gen facility that will still be fit for purpose in 5, 10 or 15 years’ time? What will future facilities look like? IABM CTO Stan Moote hosts a fireside chat with two people who are faced with just this challenge right now!
