What sessions to visit at IBC 2023?

When it comes to IBC, networking, vendor visits and attending sessions are top priorities for many visitors. However, with the abundance of options available, it can be challenging to decide which sessions to prioritize. Especially if you have a specific interest in CDN and Content Delivery. Fortunately, the CDN Alliance has done the work for you and compiled a comprehensive list of sessions tailored to your needs.

Make sure to check out our curated list below and pick the ones you think are valuable to attend. Feel free to share the link to this page for others to see. We will update this post constantly with new sessions we find and get sent, so check back regularly. Are you aware of a session that is not listed yet and relates to CDN or Content Delivery? Just send us an e-mail at [email protected] with the details and we will add it. We hope this helps everybody with their planning for IBC.

Don’t forget that you can meet with our board members at one of the events, so do let us know at [email protected] what happy hour or event you would like to meetup with one of us. Or better: set up a meeting directly during IBC directly here. We hope to see you there!
