Colombia. With 70 confirmed exhibitors, Bogotá will be for the ninth consecutive year the scene of the Tecnotelevisión&Radio fair, which in 2016 will have a busy exhibition of the most avant-garde technology in the broadcast industry , which will take place in Hall 6 of Corferias and which will additionally have a specialized academic day that last year was rated as highly recommended by 100% of its attendees.
"Our expectations are high for this year and the responsibility is very great, because we have a greater and more specialized call for professionals from different regions and media. In 2015, for example, 45% of attendees belonged to production, post-production and/or transmitter companies. And in terms of profile, 50% were general managers, while 14% represented the research and development areas of the companies," says Adriana Ramírez, Project Manager of the event.
Who is coming?
Companies such as Sony, Cricon, Ingson, Videocorp, Megatrax, Brodcast Depot, Vidiexco, among other 64, will be present at this trade fair that brings together engineers, technicians, directors and owners of broadcasting television channels, digital television / HDTV, producers and post-producers of film, television and audio, cable TV networks and stations, radio stations and producers, digital film studios, recording studios and universities and audiovisual arts teaching institutions.
There are more than 3,000 square meters dedicated to this commercial space, which will be complemented by an academic program that this year will bring together 22 speakers from 10 countries with 20 keynote talks and two workshops on the latest trends in technology. "Our goal is to provide attendees with relevant information about the future of this industry and give them tools to face the coming challenges in each of their companies," explains Richard Santa Sánchez, academic coordinator of the event.
The program of conferences on television production and post-production will address cutting-edge topics such as the application of 4K, 8K and HDR technologies, the future of IP television, the advances of multi-screen services, DTT in favor of education, and a special session, as a success story, on audio for the transmission of the last Olympic Games, among others.
On this occasion, and for the third consecutive year, the congress will have a room dedicated to radio; in this, cutting-edge topics such as visual radio and its future in Colombia, content automation and new technologies to achieve it effectively, among others, will be exposed.
Contribution of social responsibility
On the other hand, and with the purpose of making a social contribution to the industry from the Colombian academic environments, which at this moment form the future technical and managerial human talent of the country, the best university video works will be awarded, within the framework of the TecnoTelevisión 2016 University Contest.
"This contest organized by the magazine TVyVideo+Radio, seeks to encourage young university filmmakers, and producers of the future, to show the narrative and technical qualities, acquired during their training process and are projected to use state-of-the-art technology", concludes Adriana Ramírez Project Manager of Tecnotelevisión y Radio 2016.
