The Ultimate Wasabi Guide to the IBC 2022 Show Floor

IBC is back in-person at the RAI Amsterdam September 9-12, 2022, and the Wasabi team couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this legendary event. IBC is one of the media and entertainment industry’s staple conferences, attracting more than 55,000 attendees from around the world. This year’s show will boast keynotes from Mike Davies, SVP Field Operations with Fox Sports; Johannes Larcher, Head of International at HBO Max; and Vincent Tauzia, VP of Partnerships at Netflix; among other industry experts and luminaries.

The theme of this year’s IBC show is all about bringing community back together. In the IBC’s own words, “this year we are on a journey to deliver the new normal in an engaging way. WE ARE moving forward. WE ARE here for our industry. And, together, WE ARE a community.

In honor of that theme, we compiled this show guide to help you make the most of your time on the IBC show floor. In it, we share what the Wasabi community–our ecosystem of technology alliance partners–have in store for you, and where you can find them at the show.
