BOTHELL, Wash.—Dust off the boat shoes; pull that captain’s hat out of the closet; and get ready for an IP excursion in Amsterdam during IBC 2023, Sept. 15-18, at the RAI.

The IP Showcase is returning to the event thanks to the Audio Engineering Society (AES), Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the Video Services Forum.
