The Media Production & Technology Show (MPTS) and SMPTE have launched a new technology conference for broadcast leaders to take place on 15-16 May 2024. The Media Technology Conference will bring together senior technology leaders and experts in the field of broadcasting and innovation for two days of networking and knowledge sharing. This new conference will be co-produced by SMPTE and Media Business Insight (MBI).
At the heart of the event will be a conference programme of keynote presentations, panel discussions, hands-on workshops and technology business insights. Topics will include emerging technologies, AI in media, cloud for live production, IP workflows, virtual production, security, skills and sustainability. The conference will be free to attend, but spaces will be reserved for senior technology leaders only.
‘The broadcast industry is at the forefront of technological innovation, whether that is in live sports broadcasting, the use of AI, remote production, virtual studios, postproduction editing or sound remixing,’ says MPTS Event Director, Charlotte Wheeler. ‘We want to provide a platform to bring together the most senior technology professionals who are leading this change to explore the latest trends and innovations, as well as plan for the future. Partnering with SMPTE UK will ensure the programme focuses on the most cutting-edge technology topics and that the event attracts senior attendees from around the world.’
‘We’re bringing the best of the global SMPTE community to London to share knowledge and insight with senior leaders in the UK and the European media industry,’ adds SMPTE UK chair, John Ellerton. ‘And by hosting this as part of MPTS 2024, this is certain to be the most successful SMPTE UK conference ever.’
The event will take place alongside MPTS 2024, which will provide more than 250 hours of free-to-attend sessions across six theatres.
