IBC is the largest gathering in Europe for the media, entertainment and broadcast technology industry, filling all of RAI Amsterdam for four days. The 2026 programme runs heavily on streaming architecture, cloud production, AI in content workflows and the economics of distribution — and the exhibition floor is where most of the European media-tech supply chain does business. A genuine anchor week for Amsterdam: a dense fringe of meetups and drinks orbits it, several of which are listed separately here.
