Voice your opinion and shape the frameworks and standards followed by the entirety of MediaTech.

Dynamic Software Licensing (DSL) Group

Join industry-leading buyers and vendors from across the media and cloud ecosystem, as they tackle today’s licensing challenges head-on – transforming shared problems into real-world progress and a redefined industry standard.

The result? A clearer, more flexible and streamlined approach to software licensing and management, designed to accelerate innovation.

Security and Vulnerability Group

The Security and Vulnerability Working Group brings IAMT members together in collaboration with NABA (North American Broadcasters Association) and in liaison with the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), to strengthen alignment between the vendor and buyer communities on security and vulnerability requirements.

Join this group and help make an impact with fewer last-minute issues in RFPs and RFQs, clearer requirements, and a more resilient, aligned industry approach to security.
