Media Business Insight’s Media Production & Technology Show (MPTS) has acquired assets related to Broadcast Video Expo from the ITE Group. MBI has acquired the rights to BVE’s intellectual property, marketing data, and marketing channels.

Serving content creation within the film, TV and video industry, the show plans to ‘significantly extend and enhance its offering to more technology manufacturers, suppliers, content and new partners for the event’.

Taking place in May 2020 at London Olympia, MPTS now claims to be the UK’s largest show for the broadcast production and technology sector. ‘Our visitor numbers were up by 25 per cent this year and we had a record rebook level with exhibitors,’ says MPTS Event Director, Charlotte Wheeler.

‘We are building on the success we’ve had in developing our show over the past four years and the brilliant relationships we have with the industry and our customers. People in the market have often said they’d prefer one UK show and now we are able to focus on delivering the biggest and best event for exhibitors and visitors. We are looking forward to working with exhibitors and visitors who have attended BVE in the past to deliver a fantastic event for the whole industry in 2020.’

MPTS will extend its features to include new industry partnerships, a dedicated Technology Theatre, a Technology Networking Zone and a larger Broadcast Sports Theatre & Zone.

‘We have been working hard to build the UK’s biggest and best event for the TV, film and video sector,’ says MBI CEO, Conor Dignam. ‘We will take the best elements of BVE and include them in our offering next year, particularly in the field of technology. This is testament to the great work Charlotte and the team have done on the show and their approach of really working closely with the industry and exhibitors to develop the show.’
