IABM and BVE Announce Strategic Partnership for 2017

International media technology suppliers trade body and leading UK entertainment and media technology event collaborate to deliver bigger, better and more focused show for delegates

IABM today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with BVE, the UK’s leading entertainment and media technology event. The partnership will see IABM and BVE working together throughout the year to ensure members and exhibitors benefit from a greater combined package across the two organizations. BVE 2017 will take place from 28th February – 2nd March 2017 at ExCeL London.

The collaboration will provide heightened activity and more opportunities for members during the show, as well as enabling BVE to tap into IABM’s extensive range of skills and services, attracting a wider audience and broadening its content base.

In addition, IABM will work closely with BVE to develop a one-day training course to run parallel with the event and create hosted C-Level tours of the show to provide a personalized on-site experience for time-pressed, senior delegates. Among other initiatives IABM will also work with BVE to develop an innovative technology feature to add further value for visitors.

Dan Sacchelli, Event Manager, BVE, said, “I am extremely pleased to announce our partnership with IABM. The partnership not only solidifies BVE’s place within the broadcast and media industry landscape but also shows that we have been listening to our exhibitors and visitors and have actively responded to their needs. With the program IABM intends to bring to the show and the type of visitors that will attract, our exhibitors are set to benefit exponentially.”

Peter White, IABM CEO, said, “IABM is dedicated to working with the organisers of major shows to deliver the best possible visitor experience – and so, the best return on investment for IABM member exhibitors. As soon as we began talking with BVE, it became obvious that they very much shared our vision. From there, it was simply a matter of working closely together on practical ideas to expand the appeal of the annual BVE show in London to deliver a 360 degree, high value experience for both visitors and exhibitors alike. I see this partnership agreement as being very much just a starting point, on which IABM and BVE can further develop over the coming years.”
