A major part of IBC is the experience of meeting your fellow peers from all across the world, after the seeing, touching and hearing about upcoming technology in your own field all in one place.
So how do you keep socialised with your peers and friends that you have in the business away from IBC? Social Networks. Which ones? Well we have Linkedin (Ian Nock on Linkedin), Facebook, Friendfeed (Ian Nock on Friendfeed) and Twitter (Ian Nock on Twitter.com) as a start. These are great big halls however, so where do you find the cosy back meeting rooms? Well this is where you can make use of industry, field or technology specific social networks or sub groups of these bigger networks, or a combination of the two. Try some yourself, but if you are in the Digital TV field, give the Digital TV Professionals network a try… and once signed up, try connecting Ian Nock on Digital TV Professionals.
Of course you can always try meeting in person, and if you want to meet up, drop me a line.
Ian Nock.
