IBC2021 Technical Papers submission now open

IBC has announced that the call for Technical Papers is now open for the IBC2021 Conference.

The Technical Papers programme welcomes entries from all industry sectors across the media, entertainment and technology sector and from every discipline, whether from a professional or a professor, a member of an R&D team, working alone or with a global brand.

Dr Paul Entwistle, chair of IBC’s technical papers committee, commented: “The opportunity for innovation in our technically diverse industry continues unabated. AI/machine learning is a prime example that has moved rapidly from curio to business tool with applications spanning encoding to synthetic actors to assisted production. The steady evolution of VR/AR continues to impress and 5G sits on the cusp of creating real change. Progress also brings challenges, content security, fake news and sustainability.

“We are genuinely appreciative of the support the industry shows the Technical Papers programme and look forward to continuing to showcase authors, whose work sits at the cutting-edge, challenges the norm, or shares useful and practical insight.”

At this stage, IBC is inviting 300-word synopses, including an overview of the topic, highlighting unique approaches and key background information.

All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of professional experts. Papers chosen for presentation at the IBC Conference will also have the opportunity to win the ‘Best Conference Paper Award’ at the IBC Awards.

The deadline for submissions is Monday 1 February 2021.
