International Broadcasting Convention
The International Broadcasting Convention, more commonly known by its acronym IBC, is an annual trade show for broadcasters, content creators/providers, equipment manufacturers, professional and technical associations, and other participants in the broadcasting industry. IBC is Europe's largest professional broadcast show and is held annually in September at the RAI Exhibition and Convention Centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
In recent years IBC has de-highlighted its "Broadcasting" focus, and instead marketed its exhibition as the world's largest centered on media and entertainment. The name "International Broadcasting Convention" is no longer used on its website.
