With over 30 years’ experience with the BBC, including as a News Producer, Studio Director and R&D Technology Transfer and Partnerships Manager, Purminder Gandhu is shaping broadcast technology solutions for the future. A Technical Emmy shortlister, Purminder won the NAB Best Paper Award in 2024, was part of the team that won the IABM Peter Wayne Golden BaM Award™ 2024 and is also a jury member for the Royal Television Society (RTS) Tech Awards and the Broadcast Tech Awards. At NAB Show Las Vegas, Purminder will be producing and presenting the IABM TV studio and – brand new for 2025 – the IABM Impact Stage, taking place in the newly expanded IABM Members Lounge located at N259 LMR. From bustling BBC studios to remote locations facilitating live coverage of BBC World News and events, Purminder has regularly worked as a studio director, including on programs such as the BBC’s flagship Today morning show. In the broadcast technology environment, where innovation and a shared vision are paramount, Purminder’s understanding of the evolving technology landscape is exceptional. Ranging from traditional broadcast techniques through to the latest advancements in digital audio, immersive sound, connectivity solutions and notably her work on 5G as part of a multi-award-winning collaborative partnership, she is demonstrably at the leading edge of innovation. After moving to BBC R&D in early 2020, Purminder embraced leadership and collaborative teamwork in her role as the lead for the BBC Edge technology forum. BBC Edge enabled teams from across the BBC to learn, share and influence workflows while engaging with the broader industry and sharing technology developments through curated agendas – the first 24-hour test of Starlink, for example. Through the curation of valuable information on emerging technologies, trends, and best practices, sharing insights through panels and presentations for IBC, MPTS, EBU, SVG and Broadcast Techfest, Purminder has leveraged her expertise to become a sought-after thought leader. Purminder is an advisor, presenter and producer for IABM, (International Association of Broadcast and Media), connecting, supporting and informing media technology organizations across the global ecosystem. Always paying it forward, mentoring is an imperative for Purminder and she is also part of the Rise Women in Broadcast’s mentoring cohort and podcast producer.
