Stand highlights

At IBC 2024, AWS will showcase 50 demonstrations and feature 60 partners on its stand. Demos will highlight key M&E workloads for creating, delivering, and monetizing content, more than half of which leverage AWS generative AI technology. Visitors to the stand can check out a dedicated pod featuring Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, and the PartyRock application.

Visitors can also explore an interactive editing and colour grading suite that mirrors a real-world edit bay with surfaces, audio, and screens that will be familiar to production professionals.

An expanded Builder Zone will enable attendees to take a technical deep dive and experiment with AWS solutions. They’ll be able to get hands-on with AWS Elemental services, AWS storage services (Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, Amazon FSx); and Amazon GameLift; as well as AWS generative AI services and Amazon Personalize.

Generative AI everywhere at IBC

In addition to offering 29 generative AI demonstrations on stand 5.C90, AWS is hosting an Innovation Village alongside NVIDIA in Hall 14, stand A13. The Village will highlight shared partners and their achievements using generative AI services and solutions on AWS. Participants can peruse demo pods and view theatre presentations featuring AWS customers and partners. An immersive experience workflow will also showcase how customers can produce live and pre-recorded 8K and immersive content using the cloud. Visitors can also interact with an animatronic robot dubbed “Sir Martian”, that uses conversational AI and draws pictures.

In addition, AWS is co-sponsoring IBC’s AI Tech Zone in Hall 14, stand AIA01. The dedicated area will spotlight AI thought-leaders, solution providers, and creators.
