IBC 2026

IBC 2026 is scheduled for 11–14 September 2026 at RAI Amsterdam, a large exhibition and convention centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

RAI Amsterdam is easily accessible by train, tram, metro, and car. From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you can take a direct train to Amsterdam RAI station or use taxis and rideshares; the venue website offers detailed route descriptions and parking information.

Amsterdam regularly hosts other major trade shows, including technology, maritime, and industrial exhibitions at RAI Amsterdam and other venues, making it one of Europe’s key B2B event cities.

IBC exhibitors span broadcast equipment manufacturers, software and platform vendors, telecom and network solution providers, CDN and streaming technology companies, and integration firms offering end‑to‑end media and communication workflows.

Attendees register via the official IBC website, where they select passes (such as exhibition visitor or conference delegate), provide their details, and complete payment online. Confirmation emails include ticket references and instructions for badge collection.

Visitors should plan flights into Schiphol Airport, book accommodation early near RAI or central Amsterdam, and check transport and visa requirements. The IBC site typically offers hotel booking options and practical advice on public transport and local logistics.

IBC includes a very large trade show floor with hundreds of stands, product demos, and technology showcases, as well as a curated conference program. Many attendees focus mainly on the exhibition to evaluate solutions and meet vendors.

Companies can apply to exhibit by submitting an application via the IBC website, selecting booth size and location, and agreeing on terms. Exhibitors receive manuals covering stand construction, rigging, shipping, and on‑site services.
