IABM is bringing an exciting new technology pitch format to the IABM Impact Stage at IBC. The Innovation Arena is an opportunity for members to showcase new in-development, prototype, and proof of concept products and technology to an invite-only audience of media technology buyers from IABM’s global engaged partner (GEP) program hosted by IABM’s Technology Evangelist, Purminder Gandhu. 

We are looking for quickfire presentations lasting no longer than six minutes that demonstrate a new prototype for a product, solution or service, or detail a successful proof of concept case study that has been tested with a partner organization. After the presentation a short period of time will also be allowed for audience feedback and questions, and all participants are encouraged to stay and network after the series of presentations are completed. Submissions can be made by individuals and/or teams. 

This session is designed to be a space to showcase innovation and facilitate direct feedback from end-customers for pre-release products before they are ready for market. IABM Members should not base a submission on a product that will be featured on their booth at IBC in the general exhibition, all entries are expected to demonstrate how the content of their presentation will be exclusive. Spaces are very limited and members will be selected based on the quality of their submission and the level of exclusivity of their content. Submissions will close on Friday 22nd August.
