Visitors to IBC2017 will be able to immerse themselves in a world of cutting edge

technologies, with a host of opportunities to learn about the accelerating trends that

are enhancing, customising or otherwise transforming the user experience (UX).

Media and broadcast professionals should not miss the Business Transformation

conference session entitled Broadcast is about to be transformed , with

speakers from Google, Freeview Australia, DMC and DTG discussing the myriad

disruptions currently facing broadcast on all fronts. With IP-only delivery, on demand

consumption, and personalised user experiences, what can broadcasters do today to

make the most of these transformations?

The series of Tech Talks on Sunday 17 September 2017 features several must-see

sessions that step further into the future. Inventing the Future - Decoding the

Unknown promises to be a wide-ranging discussion with experts envisioning the

technologies and applications that are likely to materialise in the near and distant

future, and the impacts they might have on humanity. The panel includes senior

executives from organisations including BBC R&D, NHK, 21Million, Nuance

Communications and Disney Research.

Artificial Intelligence - Driving the Next Wave of Innovation looks at the

potential for AI, which is still largely uncharted territory. Attendees will hear from tech

pioneers including Alex Zhukov, CTO at Videogorillas and Yoav Oz, co-founder of

Spotad, about the latest developments in AI, how to harness them and how they

might affect companies and consumers.

The session In Conversation with...Bots: Messaging and Voice Platforms as the

Next Battleground for Consumer signals that The Big Bot Battle

surrounding Chatbots as an interface and service has begun, but there are still many

challenges for this nascent platform - including functionality, adoption, monetisation,

UX and payment integration. Panelists from organisations including Al Jazeera Media

Network, The Bot Platform and TurnUp Music will debate emerging opportunities,

challenges and winning applications for the media industry.

In the Platform Futures strand, Arash Pendari, founder of Vionlabs and tech evangelist

for UX presents Future User Experience: Mathematics or Art? , a visual and

information driven session with personalisation of content at its heart.

The Auditorium will host a Big Screen Experience entitled Future Camera and

Presentation Technologies and Applications leading to AR/VR, Immersive Media, and

Holography featuring legendary cinematographer, visual effects supervisor and

author, David Stump ASC, and light-field visionary, production executive, and motion-

picture technology innovator, Jon Karafin. In conversation with Julian Pinn, managing

director of Julian Pinn Ltd, they will discussing the latest technologies that are

destined to revolutionise how we capture images and volumetric light-fields, and how

to empower content creators to explore and display their own free-viewpoint creations

of both live-action and computer-generated content within augmented and virtual

reality immersive media playback environments, including future holographic displays.
