Record attendance for IPTV World Forum 2008

Last week’s IPTV World Forum 2008 attracted over 5,500 attendees, a new record for the show, which is also expanding in scope to include next-generation cable (especially IPTV over cable) and next-generation satellite. There were more than 150 exhibitors covering everything from WiFi chips and remote controls to pre-integrated voice/VOD/television solutions.

“We were delighted with the turnout at the show” says Ian Johnson, Managing Director of Junction, the show organisers. “By combining multiple complementary streams, the audience was diverse, and all conferences well attended.” The organisers says the exhibition floor is already 85 per cent booked for next year.
