Welcome Dear Delegate I am delighted to welcome you to the 11th IABM Annual International Business Conference here in London.

I can remember back in 2012 the headline for this event was “Adapt or Die” and in this same welcome letter back then we challenged the industry to jettison “traditional outdated business models” that “would not prevail in the broadcast and media technology world of the future”.

We encouraged new ways of thinking “reinvention” and “innovation” were the key words as we all could see the impact that IT convergence, software defined networks, file based architectures would have on the traditional side of our industry.

The changes that have hit our industry in the last three years have facilitated new ways of content delivery for our customers and this in turn is spawning a whole new industry infrastructure and the days when our industry was a niche vertical dominated by specialist businesses operating independently of each other are rapidly disappearing.

Looking back, it was clear to see that it was in 2012 when this structural shift took hold and has been gathering pace ever since. To all intents and purposes, in the territories at the vanguard of technological change in broadcast, the transition is complete.

We are in a world that looks very different and the IABM membership today includes companies such as Akamai, Brightcove, BT Media and Broadcast, Cisco, Huawei Technologies, IBM, Intel and Microsoft.

We also have experienced an influx of members specialising in IP delivery, streaming, mobile technology and other new media products and services. Business models are changing where Capex is often replaced by Opex where income models are totally different and where often only core competencies are maintained in house and the rest outsourced.

With the spread of use of cloud services and IP delivery more and more prevalent we are seeing some traditional hardware domains being replaced by software. We are truly moving to a virtual infrastructure in many parts of the digital media value chain.

Many of our long standing members have indeed adapted and reinvented themselves creating a new business fit for today’s market. Collaboration is now key and interoperability of members’ product offerings essential, we can no longer operate within silos.

The headline theme this year is “Virtual becomes Reality” and certainly three years on we can say unequivocally we have undergone a substantial paradigm shift.

Q3 has been tough for many of our members and much of our latest research data indicates a downturn in fortunes across the industry generally in recent months.

Some companies however have prospered during this time, so why is this? Is it only traditional broadcast and media technology vendors who have suffered or are the lines drawn differently?

We know that many end users have not been sure of the way forward of late and a hiatus in spending has occurred as a result, so how do we get this flowing again? Over the next two days we will set the scene, explore and debate the issues and discuss with our customers the way forward.

Our industry is founded upon creativity and innovation and no more so than in the broadcast and media technology vendor base. In collaboration now with new partners we are seeing once again how resilient and adaptable our members can be.

I hope that at this conference we can help facilitate and develop new profitable relationships between our members and that you are inspired by what you see and hear, and when the two days are over you leave with new ideas to help your business continue to be a great success.

As ever the IABM team is at your disposal during the two days of this conference.

Thanks for attending.

Best regards Peter D White Chief Executive Officer, IABM

Felix Poulin, Project Manager, Media Production Technologies, EBU Felix is topic leader for networked media production at the EBU Technology and Innovation in Switzerland, managing multi-disciplinary work groups and events.

Felix has “grown up” in studios as his parents worked in TV production. His inherited curiosity for technology led him to a diploma in electrical engineering at the École Polytechnique de Montréal completed by a research project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduating he began work as a wireless and digital audio expert on international productions, including at Cirque du Soleil. Prior to the EBU, he has worked for national broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada as adviser in new broadcast technologies.

Felix is co-chair of the Joint EBU/SMPTE/VSF Task Force on Networked Media, Programme Manager of the yearly EBU Network Technology Seminar, Coordinator of the EBU Strategic Programme on Future Networked Systems, collaborator in the VRT Sandbox initiative and the IABM award winning VRT LiveIP Project.

Marco Pelligrinato, Director of Research and Development, RTI, Mediaset Group, Italy Marco designed “RAV&FAV”, the IP based infrastructure for TV Operations in Mediaset Production Centers. In 2007, he conceived “M-TUBE”, the fiber optics infrastructure based upon DWDM and GE technology, capable to interconnect the Mediaset regional branches to the Milan and Rome headquarters as well with most of football stadiums .

In 2003, he co-founded DGTVi, the Italian Association of Digital TV Broadcasters, coordinating the publishing activities of "D-Book": the baseline requirements & technical specifications for CE TV manufacturers. In 2006, he co-founded HD Forum Italia, coordinating the publishing of the HD-Book Collection, who extends the specification to the High Definition technology and broadband services in the TV receivers.

In the last decade he has been instrumental for the realisation of some catch-up TV services and Pay TV services in Mediaset.

Darren Long, Director of Sky Production Services, BskyB After leaving NFTS, Darren joined BSkyB at the birth of the company back in 1989. He was one of the pioneers of changing the way the world watches sport, overseeing the technical operational developments and innovations across Sky Sports – from simple ultra-motion replay, HD and 3D, through to today’s interactive and digital developments that now appear in most sports broadcasts.

Darren was a key player in the conception and development of the UK’s first sustainable broadcast facility, Sky Studios, that has eight production studios, over 70 post production suites and one of the biggest integrated tapeless systems in the world which runs all of Sky’s linear, online and OTT playout.

In November 2012, Darren took over the leadership role for Sky Production Services (SPS).

Clyde Smith, Fox Television Clyde's current consultancy role at Fox Network Engineering and Operations involves supporting the Broadcast and Cable Sports and Entertainment Networks’ production, post production and broadcast operating groups, advising on standards, regulations and testing for new technologies.

Friday 4 December 2015 Keynote – Traditional broadcast will evolve but remain relevant John Maxwell Hobbs, Managing Director/Founder, Vanguard Visions Media consultant, internet pioneer, and BBC Scotland’s former Head of Technology, John Maxwell Hobbs has worked at the intersection of art and technology for over 20 years. He has recently conceived and developed BBC Music’s initiative with PRS Foundation and BASCA to foster, promote, and commission new British songwriters.

Joining the BBC in 2006 to launch BBC Scotland’s 21st Century broadcasting facility, Pacific Quay, he oversaw PQ’s hosting of the Commonwealth Games coverage, and coverage of the Scottish Referendum. He launched BBC ALBA, Scotland’s Gaelic television channel, and developed the BBC’s first fully tapeless, HD workflow.

Before the BBC, he founded a media consultancy in Stockholm, specialising in digital creative services for customers like Ericsson and IKEA. In New York City, as Ericsson’s Head of Creative Development for CyberLab, he lead mobile internet development and helped to create the Delphi Pad, a forerunner of devices like the iPad. Heavily involved in the internet start-up scene in New York City, he worked for EarthWeb, one of the first dotcoms to go public.

He is a non-executive director of Kiltr, serves on the Board of Screen Academy Scotland, and is Vice President of Vanguard Visions, an organization fostering artists experimenting with technology.
