09 SHOW PREVIEW IBC returns after a
pandemic-induced hiatus. Here’s what to expect.
41
A fter a challenging couple of years for the industry, IBC is back and we’re 100% here for it. It’s been a long time since the Definition team has embarked on an overseas adventure; to see friends old and new, gather stories and support major players in the video production world. But the moment has finally come – and we can’t wait to re-engage and catch up. Needless to say, many of you will be reading this while already walking the halls of the RAI, or taking a moment to soak up the winter rays at the beach bar. So, let me highlight the features that will equip you with the knowledge needed to cover all the hot topics at the show. These include our stories on post-production in the cloud (p33), 5G connectivity (p49) and, of course, the exhibition preview on page nine. Don’t forget to say hi! DEPUTY EDITOR Chelsea Fearnley 09
