3 WELCOME
I’m proud to have been a regular around the RAI in Amsterdam for some years now, as a producer for the IBC Conference programme, as a journalist for the IBC Daily and as a lone content creation geek learning all I could about the industry. But this is the first time I’ve had the honour of bringing a brand-new product to the show floor. You can bet we'll be handing out hella magazines at the show. And we hope you’ll take one – and read it – even subscribe. But our most important job will be to meet as many of you as we can and to find out what you need and how we can help you get it. FEED aims to be more than another trade mag. Whether you’re a lone YouTuber or multichannel operator, we want to help you create and deliver the best possible video content to the audiences who it will benefit most. Let us know how we can help. In this issue we'll examine esports, that new content genre everyone wants a piece of, but so few people (over age 35) understand. Esports tournaments are drawing in colossal audiences and esports companies are willing to spend money to give their events a high-end broadcast gloss. There's gold in them digital hills, but let's get educated first. Also we take a deep dive into artificial intelligence and machine learning. These buzzwords are going to become ubiquitous technologies, like IP production, VOD and mobile delivery – themes that are going to find their way into every part of the industry. Developing and directing AI's will become an increasingly valuable skill in the next decade. We hope you enjoy the issue. See you in Amsterdam! WELCOME US TO IBC!
