Annonces de l'organisation de l'IBC

Major developments in IBC's real estate - New Hall 12
Manufacturers are still clamouring for more space at IBC2006, so the exhibition team has worked with the RAI Centre to create 500 square metres of additional show floor which will now be known as Hall 12. Combined with some other changes it will make the whole experience for visitors and exhibitors better and more convenient.

TelecomTV
TelecomTV is a global web portal, delivering news, analysis, interviews and panel discussions to over 25,000 decision makers in 150 countries in the telecom and technology sector. In association with IBC, it is going to create dedicated programming linked to IBC's conference and exhibition.
Before the event, TelecomTV will be hosting six panel discussions focussing on the key issues to be debated at IBC - Media on the Move, Multimedia in the Home, Digital Cinema, HDTV, Content Creation and IPTV. Links to these programmes will be sent to you as they are published, enabling you to hear the industry's leading experts setting the scene.
TelecomTV will also be building its own studio on site in Amsterdam and will be creating news and discussion programmes each day of IBC. As well as being available on demand from the TelecomTV website www.telecomtv.com these will form part of the IBC Info Channel, shown on screens around the RAI Centre. TelecomTV's programming will run alongside the ever-popular IBC TV News, distributed each morning to virtually every hotel in Amsterdam.
