Welcome Dear Delegate, I am delighted to welcome you to the 12th IABM Annual International Business Conference and Awards. 2016 has been by any standards a turbulent year in our industry and this conference provides a unique opportunity to get it all into perspective, learn the lessons, take the positives and carry new ideas and strategies forward to 2017 and beyond. We have a packed agenda that hits all the issues and opportunities head on, and I am certain delegates will leave with a raft of ideas that will make a real impact on their thinking and strategies for the coming year. Last year, the conference majored on the shift from traditional hardware to a new virtual, software-based world where commodity IT platforms are becoming commonplace, with our members adding their ‘special sauce’ applications to facilitate media delivery across an ever-growing range of platforms. That trend has continued and grown over the last year as traditional broadcasters are embracing OTT and entering the fray with the new media players. Our members are overwhelmingly reinventing themselves to embrace this change, but the resultant shift from Capex to Opex is causing some pain in the near term – as are the big shifts in currency exchange rates that have happened this year. Collaboration continues to be a key issue and I’m delighted that the industry has made real strides on this over the year. IABM has played a leading role with the establishment of our Industry Collaborative Groups Endorsement Program, with the first endorsee being AIMS – with whom we collaborated to present the highly successful IP Interoperability Zone at IBC this year. We are all working together as never before, and this theme echoes throughout the conference, culminating in a plenary debate on Friday – ‘Collaboration and standards: does one solution fit all?’ - that brings together leaders from IET, AIMS, EBU, AMWA and SMPTE. It's not just collaboration between suppliers that has grown, but also with end-user communities. Gaining a deeper understanding of our customers’ rapidly changing business requirements naturally helps drive focused and profitable technology development. IABM has responded to this shift by adding more endusers to the conference agenda to help IABM members better understand their customers’ business imperatives.

I N T E R N A T I O N A L

This year we have also introduced two new masterclasses into the pre-conference program – one on sales and marketing in the new collaborative environment, and the other run by the AIB to give some end-user case studies and a perspective on the latest hot topic of cyber security. Business transformation in the face of disruption is at the heart of the conference plenary sessions, with debates and case studies on how companies are reinventing themselves to continue to be relevant in this new multi-platform, IT-based media world. The packed agenda also includes what promises to be an illuminating session on Friday – ‘Focus on the future; what will broadcast look like in 2020?’. Broadcasters, media companies and suppliers get together to gaze into their crystal balls. Our Friday opening keynote is from Rasmus Ankersen an inspirational author, entrepreneur, speaker on performance development and a trusted advisor to businesses and athletes around the world. He will illustrate his thesis that complacency is not an option with real-world examples that will be a positive call to action for all delegates – whatever the state of their businesses. The gala dinner on Thursday evening includes our Annual Awards, where we will be recognising some very worthy winners – including the Peter Wayne Award for the year’s most outstanding technology development, Young Person of the Year, Business Woman of the Year, Excellence in Sustainability and the presentation of an honorary membership to someone who has had a major impact within our industry over many years. Amidst all this change, relationships continue to be key, and this year we are providing more opportunities than ever for the vital networking that so often opens up new thinking and new opportunities. Talking of which, I and the IABM team look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with everyone at conference. Best regards

Peter D White Chief Executive Officer, IABM

Thursday 1 December 2016 – Main Plenary Case Studies: Business Transformations Mike Ellis, Head of Production Architecture, BBC Mike’s main focus is on the production facilities, infrastructure and processes used by the BBC to deliver top quality TV, Radio and Online content. Starting in the BBC's TV studio engineering team, he moved to BBC R&D where he specialised in DAB and IP networks, giving him a wide experience in radio, television and online technologies. From BBC R&D, he took on the role of Technical Architect for the BBC's newest production centres in MediaCity:UK and Broadcasting House. Now within the BBC Design and Engineering Technology, Strategy and Architecture team, Mike is part of the team choosing the BBC’s path for the future.

Paul Flook, Head of Broadcast Engineering, ITN It was over 36 years ago since I entered TV engineering. I started at the BBC as a graduate engineer. I was lucky enough to gain experience on a good proportion of aspects of TV engineering. After nine years of entertaining and lively work I transferred over to ITN. 27 years later I am still at ITN having had a very challenging career spanning a wide range engineering. I have seen the technology move from composite/component, to digital, to widescreen, then to high definition, and now to IP. Each technology has had its challenges and its benefits. At every migration of the technology it has usually been accompanied by a change of work flow in some form or another. We are now entering another age which could potentially the most significant. IP should offer wide ranging alterations to financial models of operations.

Chris Johns, Chief Engineer, Sky Chris has been with Sky since its inception in 1989 having started his career in broadcast with the BBC. Chris formed part of the initial technical team tasked with launching Sky’s multi-channel analogue satellite offering. As Chief Engineer, Chris has been at the forefront of delivering broadcast functionality to the platform such as the multichannel digital playout facilities, Dolby Digital audio, server-based solutions and compression systems. Having played a key role in Sky’s HD launch and design of its HD infrastructure, he continues to oversee the product quality. Sitting on many broadcast groups and societies, Chris is a SMPTE Fellow and Honorary Fellow of the BKSTS.

Guillaume Lemoine, Chief Architect TV Technology, TF1 Guillaume is responsible for defining the technology roadmap and designing the core elements of TF1 audio-visual infrastructures. He works with internal engineering teams in order to make sure that projects are meeting not only their short term goals, but are also set on a future proof path. Current focus is set on transitioning from Broadcast industry specific SDI interfaces to full IP network based solutions, as well as enabling cloud technologies. Before that he started his career at TF1 leading the projects that completed the digital transformation of the News Production facilities as well as the first multichannel HD playout center in France, back in 2006.

Friday 2 December 2016 Special Event: Think differently and redefine your business Rasmus Ankersen Rasmus is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker on performance development and a trusted advisor to businesses and athletes around the world. He has built a worldwide reputation over the last few years for his inspirational, business-transforming guidance based on solid research – delivered in an inspirational and engaging manner. Rasmus’s keynote will use knowledge gained in creating his newly published book, Hunger in Paradise – the result of two years’ research on how successful companies can stay successful. “While organizations talk a lot about how to achieve success, they talk too little about the consequences of success,” Rasmus says. “About the complacency, arrogance and resistance to change which often follow as the shadow of success. It happens to individuals, companies and nations.” In his presentation, Rasmus will share his answers to questions such as: How do you stay humble when the company produces record profits? How do you provide people with the feeling that they are standing on a burning platform when there are no flames in sight? Or to put it another way – How do you create hunger in paradise by “beating the hell out of complacency”?

Friday 2 December 2016 Panel: Focus on the future Emily Forbes, CEO, Seenit Emily founded Seenit in January 2014 after spending three years in the film industry. It was when she was producing one of her own films that she discovered the power of collaborative storytelling. Seenit enables brands to create authentic episodic content at scale by activating their own fans, employees and experts to become the creators. Today everyone has a smartphone in their pocket and everyone is filming, but companies are finding it difficult to tap into this consumer behaviour. Seenit provides a video capture app and online studio to amplify the voices most relevant to your company and find the stars from your audience, motivating them to become part of your ‘mobile film crew’. Seenit was named startup of the year at The Bima Awards and The Drum named Emily as one of the Top 50 Under 30 most innovative in digital. They’re now a team of 18, based in Farringdon, and powering videos for clients such as The BBC, Team GB, The UFC, BT Sport and NBC Universal.
