![]() The early close of restaurants and bars is due to end on the first day of IBC, Dec 3rd, but we are taking precautions and shifting the show times so exhibitors and visitors can make the most of their visits. “IBC has always been about bringing the industry together and so many people tell me how much they have missed live events, not just for the face-to-face conversations, but those chance meetings in the coffee queue or waiting for the tram or a taxi. We will make a number of adjustments to our safety management and operational protocols to make sure the guidance is clear, and the event is safe for exhibitors and visitors,” said Crimp. We will still have the perimeter fence around The RAI and thorough COVID status and health screening on entry. ![]() However, on close examination of the new rules, and consultation with The RAI it is clear that not much changes with regards to the safety plans we had already put in place. “Naturally, the recent changes to COVID protocols announced by the Dutch government sent waves of concern throughout the industry. Social distancing of 1.5 metres will be in place whilst queuing for the entry check. To access the show, visitors will be required to show their COVID status and answer health screening questions before picking up their badge or entering the show floor. ![]() A perimeter fence will surround the RAI exhibition centre and all attendees will enter via two check points, at the The Elicium at entrance D and at Hall 5. IBC 2021 will take place in a “protected zone’. We will forge ahead with our IBC Digital offering to ensure that whether onsite in Amsterdam or onscreen at home the industry can come together,” said Michael Crimp, Chief Executive of IBC. We recognise that attending a live event is not for everyone at this time, and we fully respect individual decisions. We have the support of many of the leading technology companies in the market such as Blackmagic Design, Bridge Technologies, EKT, UK Tradefair, Lawo and a full agenda of content and events that will make attending IBC a valuable and rewarding experience. “As content and technology companies strive to recover from the awful impact of COVID-19, IBC 2021 will be the catalyst that brings the industry together again and enables us all to get back to doing business in person. The decision by IBC follows a decision at yesterday’s IBC Partnership Board meeting to continue with the planned event as it feels it “can be delivered safely and create the essential business momentum that the industry needs.” Amsterdam kit show, IBC, is to go ahead despite a partial three week lockdown imposed by the Netherlands government.
