Rising Stars Programme Offers Millennials Free Entry to IBC06 Conference

IBC are offering over 300 young technology, media and entertainment professionals and students the chance to attend a tailored programme of sessions, masterclasses and networking events on Saturday 10 September at the RAI, Amsterdam. In addition, they will have the opportunity to get a taste of the wider IBC Conference, Exhibition, and featured events on Sunday 11 September, free of charge. Students and young TMT professionals are invited to register their interest at IBC.org/risingstars when registration opens next week.

IBC Rising Stars forms an integral part of the IBC2016 Conference, designed to inform, nurture and inspire the next generation. This is an unmissable opportunity to learn from top experts and innovators who will share their knowledge and actionable insights about latest industry developments, cutting edge technology, trends and career progression in an intensive one day programme.

Beginning with an overview of the media and entertainment landscape around the world, the programme provides a snapshot of important developments from content production through to platforms, engagement and, ultimately, new customer experiences. Focus then shifts in the second half of the day towards the intersection of technology, creativity and users where you can explore the concept that in the interconnected world technologists and content creatives, with ideas and vision beyond technological limitations, must work in synergy with a big unknown - the users.

In addition, Rising Stars will hear about complex broadcast setups and creative solutions to deliver new viewing experiences. Pushing the boundaries of technology, VR experts will share the latest developments and examine the power of emotion and social interaction in immersive media. To conclude the day, industry practitioners and thinkers will use informative case studies to help attendees to see through the hype and learn about exciting transformative technologies, followed by a look to the future to try and predict what's next.

Complimenting this in-depth look at technological innovation and future trends, the programme also includes two sessions devoted to supercharging your career in the current climate, where the accelerating power of technology transforms workplaces and jobs. Covering new and future skills that will be essential in the next decade and what to learn today to be competitive in the robot-dominated future, this session is a must-attend for young industry starters. Also available to Rising Stars delegates is an exclusive networking session, offering an interactive discussion with industry experts and giving you a unique opportunity to ask any burning questions you may have during an informal lunch.
