The annual IBC is an important arena for the Norwegian Media Cluster. It is one of the world's most influential media, entertainment and technology shows, and usually attracts more than 50.000 attendees from around the world. The Media City Bergen Village at IBC normally brings 15-20 different companies to the expo under one umbrella to showcase the latest innovations from the Media Cluster.
As IBC was canceled, the Media Cluster turned to new tools and technology to connect different venues both on-site and online, and to create a virtual expo to showcase new innovations, solutions, and products. The audience could see presentations from Oslo, Bergen, London, Brussels, Stockholm, and Ålesund - all linked together in a new platform at the crossroads and intersection of physical, digital, and virtual solutions. This was done in real-time, with high-quality video and low latency, to make a far more enjoyable experience of community and interaction than the "traditional" zoom and team platforms.
With MCB Expo, Media City Bergen also completed a new milestone of an extensive innovation project supported by Bergen Municipality and Vestland County Municipality, aiming to create new virtual arenas for meetings where we can limit travel and have greener conversations.
