IBC has opened the call for Technical Papers for the IBC2025 Conference.
Welcoming submissions from technologists and companies across all sectors of the media, entertainment and technology industry, the IBC Technical Papers Programme offers the opportunity to showcase research and ideas to business leaders hungry for new technology concepts.
Dr Paul Entwistle, chair of IBC’s Technical Papers Committee, said: “Unsurprisingly, AI was our most popular Technical Papers session at IBC2024 – where we covered facial recognition, machine-learning in news and the iterative use of generative AI for targeted advertising. This was closely followed by our session on streaming – where the audience learnt how cricket was concurrently streamed to 59 million viewers in India. We also presented strong sessions covering XR including neural radiance fields, provenance and trust, 5G both technical advances and field trials, advances in video-coding, and sustainability. All a reminder of the breadth of technologies impacting our industry.”
The programme presents previously unpublished research and innovation focused on some of the real-world challenges faced by the industry. At this stage, IBC is looking for 300-word synopses detailing the key topics of the papers to be submitted, evidencing what is unique and explaining their backgrounds.
“Technical disclosures can also include new analytical insight into the cultural, social and environmental impact of our industry – for instance, as AI continues to impress, its impact on human creativity, intellectual rights and jobs is less clear,” Entwistle added. “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.”
Submissions are reviewed by an expert panel with papers accepted for presentation having the opportunity to win the Best Conference Paper Award, presented at the IBC2025 Awards.
The deadline for submissions is Friday 7 February 2025. Further information can be found at https://show.ibc.org/ and entries can be submitted here: https://show.ibc.org/
