IBC2024 Technical Papers submission now open

IBC has opened its call for Technical Papers for the IBC2024 Conference.

The programme, which is open to all sectors across the media, entertainment and technology industry and from every discipline, provides an opportunity for forward-thinking technologists and companies to unveil their ideas and research to media industry leaders in need of new technology concepts, their possible uses and practical applications.

All submissions are reviewed by a panel of professional experts. Papers accepted for presentation at the IBC2024 Conference also have the opportunity to win the highly coveted Best Conference Paper Award, presented at the IBC2024 Awards.

Dr Paul Entwistle, chair of IBC’s Technical Papers Committee, said: “IBC2023 was another great year for our Technical Papers Programme.

“5G came to the fore and indisputably proved its place in content production and our extended Video Coding session (spanning encoding, super-resolution and sustainability) also enjoyed strong audience support.

“Advances in the technologies underpinning streaming continued to show significant improvements, while AI – being tried everywhere – sought to showcase exciting use cases where it will make a compelling difference.”

At this initial stage, IBC is looking for a 300-word synopsis giving a clear and concise overview of the key topic of a paper, evidencing what is unique and novel and explaining its background.

“Technical disclosures can also include new analytical insight into the cultural, social and environmental impact of our industry. As AI continues to impress, it also brings risks from fake news and bias — do we have the tools and transparency to tame this genie?” Entwistle said.

“IBC sincerely appreciates the support the industry shows the Technical Papers Programme and looks forward to showcasing authors whose work sits at the cutting-edge, challenges the norm, or shares useful and practical insight.”

The deadline for submissions is Friday 9 February 2024. Entries can be submitted at Technical Papers 2024 Submission – IBC2024.
