With a new venue at London’s Excel Exhibition Centre in East London, visitors to this year’s BVE will benefit from infrastructure put in place for the 2012 Olympics

Now the second biggest event of its kind in Europe, BVE boasts a show profile that extends across production services, acquisition, post, storage, broadcast and connected multiplatform delivery.
