FAIRFAX, VA, USA and TEWKESBURY, GLOS, UK – July 1, 2024 – AVIXA and IABM will host the next edition of UpStream on July 11 at London’s QEII Centre. This unique one-day conference provides insight into how broadcast and media technologies can benefit enterprise AV end-users and the pro AV integrators who serve them.
The event will feature presentations and panel discussions on trends in the market, virtual production, creating a corporate media center, and more. Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with solution providers, peers, and speakers.
“Expertise in content, production, streaming, and related broadcast tools has become an integral part of the AV professional skillset, thanks to the almost universal adoption of online collaboration tools at the enterprise level,” said Dan Goldstein, Chief Marketing Officer, AVIXA. “UpStream brings together AV/IT professionals and broadcast solution providers to learn about this growing opportunity.”
“Our mission at IABM is to help our members do better business,” said Darren Whitehead, IABM Director of Sales and Marketing. “As the broadcast and media technology market matures, IABM members are increasingly looking to adjacent markets for growth opportunities, particularly in the enterprise AV sector, which has grown rapidly and now uses all the same technology and tools that were previously the reserve of broadcasters. That is why we teamed up with AVIXA to launch UpStream in 2023. The packed agenda will help you tackle all the challenges of capture, storage, streaming, and distribution. This makes it a must-attend event for all media tech professionals looking to grow their businesses.”
