Panel talk on IBC with Paul Markham, Tony Dotchin, Jonathan Marshall and Phil Hodgetts

I’ve known most of the panel members for as long as I’ve been
going to the IBC show, some as independents, some with their
companies but all sharing the same camaraderie. And as were in
the festive period me and some of the panel spruced up with hats
and Christmas jumpers!


I wanted to host a live podcast on the eve of 'IBC 2021'.
Streaming to LinkedIn which was one thing I’d always wanted to
do. I'm keen to get some industry folks together and talk about
the 2nd show in a row cancelled, the advent of IBC Digital and
other topics related to the show.

More on our panel guests:


Paul Markham:


I've done software, hardware, infrastructure, networks, web,
cloud, security, audio, video and broadcast technologies. I've
managed teams, recruited teams, performance managed and handled
redundancies. I took the ITIL foundation exam and got only one
answer wrong. I've worked on business cases, led workshops,
solved awkward problems and generally tried to bridge the gaps
between technology, business and people to get to the real
initiatives that can make things better.


Tony Dotchin:


Prince 2 and Agile qualified Project Manager with a proven track
record of delivering complex and diverse projects.


Experienced in design and delivery of contribution events using
technical and operational knowledge to create robust and
innovative delivery mechanisms and operational solutions for
sports broadcasting. Extensive experience on DTT and DTH
platforms. Former REME avionics technician.


Jonathan Marshall


Whether in his earlier role in BBC R&D or latterly in
commercial innovation, Jonathan has played a key role in the
invention and dissemination of many of the interactive
technologies we now take for granted - Red button TV, hybrid TV
(internet + broadcast) and integration of programming with Social
networks and online trends. To do so has required a leading level
of creative and truly multidisciplinary understanding and vision,
working with other visionaries, writers, programme makers,
technologists and broadcasters. The result of his work has been
to significantly extend the reach and possibility of the creative
industries in both broadcast and online environments.


Phil Hodgetts:


I partner with broadcasters and telecommunications companies
across Europe to scale their flexible workforce in-line with
delivery needs. My role is to work closely with various client
stakeholders to scope requirements of unique and complex
technology programmes, understand what skills are required and
deliver those skills from Caspian One's Partnered Network of
Associates.
