IBC returns to the RAI Centre in Amsterdam this year, with the conference opening on 11 September and the exhibition running from 12 to 16 September. Amsterdam is still a building site but don't let the mediocre location spoil your enjoyment of the one of the better broadcast trade shows. The conference isn't bad, but it doesn't attract any creatives - mainly engineers and technicians. If you're interest in broadcast technology, then IBC is for you. Personally, I think they should move the show to Barcelona like Mobile World Congress did.
