BVE 2013 Promises to Be Bigger and Better at ExCel

The Olympic-sized venue has enabled the organisers to add two brand new seminar theatres, a conference and additional networking opportunities.

Anita Pal, Event Director, i2i Events, said, “BVE has always been about connecting people, both through our unrivalled free seminar programme that attracts the highest calibre speakers, and also the networking opportunities afforded by the biggest content creation event in the UK. This year, with our move to ExCel, we are able to branch out further than ever before, adding a Cinematography and Lighting Demo Theatre and a Connected @ BVE Theatre to our regular theatre line up. We will also replicate the Skills Zone and Bar Meet-Up events that have raised a great deal of interest at BVE North, as well as working with various partners on fringe events leading up to and during BVE 2013.”

The Future of Media Summit, also new for BVE 2013, is an invitation-only strategic conference examining the future of the traditional broadcasting model and strategies for monetising content in the multiplatform world, as well as practical but crucial issues such as fostering the new generation of creative, payment models and licencing.

Theatres returning by popular demand include the Production Theatre and Post-Production Theatre, 3D/4K Cinema, The Audio Room and Broadcast Meets IT. In addition there will be seminar strands on the Cloud, Brands as Broadcasters and Live Event Broadcasting.

Speakers already confirmed include Andy Wilson, Head of the Centre of Technology, BBC; Andy Tennant, Controller of Technology, Production & Facilities, ITV and DPP Board Member;  David Daniels, Senior Technologist, BSkyB; and Francesco Donato, VP Broadcast Operations, Sky Deutschland.

Over 200 exhibitors including technology manufacturers, finance specialists and insurance brokers, hire companies, resellers and industry associations have already signed up for BVE 2013, including new exhibitors such as Carl Zeiss AG, Deluxe Media Technologies, WTS Broadcast and Ravensbourne Ltd. The exhibition will also host a section dedicated to production services.
