IBC2024 today announces the line-up of speakers and sessions for the first-ever dedicated IBC Talent Programme, taking place on Monday 16 September in the Showcase Theatre in Hall 8. The free-to-attend event will kick off with a welcome at the Networking Breakfast from Tamar Shoham, Chief Technology Officer at video technology and image science software company Beamr, which is sponsoring the morning alongside Women in Streaming Media.
