The industry is at a pivotal point with rapid innovation driving the sector forward and a workforce that is evolving at the same pace. The skills needs are changing and the pipeline of talent is altering too.
The third World Skills Cafe is a global forum to bring to together industry representatives at this critical juncture for the industry kicking off IBC 2026.
The event will will be split between keynotes, fireside chats and facilitated roundtables.
Our opening keynote this yeat will be from Evan Shapīro - who shares: “Let’s stop pretending this is a pipeline problem. The map of media has been completely redrawn by creators, platforms and new economics. But our approach to talent hasn’t caught up. The World Skills Café is where the industry comes to face that truth and start doing something about it.”
Participants will be from broadcasters, streamers, OTT, vendors, OB companies, studios, diversity leaders, recruiters and education representatives.
