Efficiency takes centre stage in Issue 138 of the IAMT Journal

The latest issue of the IAMT Journal is out now, and this quarter we turn our attention to efficiency: the technologies, the working practices and the decisions that help media organisations do more with less.

Efficiency has become the defining pressure of the current market. Budgets are tighter, output expectations are higher, and the gap is being closed by smarter workflows rather than bigger teams. Issue 138 looks at how that is happening in practice, with features covering automation, intelligence, supply chain management and cloud-based workflows. Together they build a picture of an industry re-examining every stage of production, distribution and operations for time and cost that can be won back.

Elsewhere in the issue we explore Next Generation Talent, asking how the sector attracts, trains and retains the people it will depend on over the next decade. We look at Enterprise AV and its growing overlap with broadcast technology, and we follow the Content Chain from acquisition through to delivery. As always, the issue is shaped by the expertise of our members, with analysis, comment and case studies drawn from across the association.

Plus a special World Cup supplement

Accompanying Issue 138 is a FIFA World Cup 2026 IBC Special Edition supplement.

The World Cup is far more than a football tournament. It is one of the largest live-production challenges on the planet, demanding vast infrastructure, flawless coordination and technology that simply cannot fail. This special edition highlights how many IAMT members helped power that global undertaking, from the venues and galleries to the connectivity and cloud platforms working behind the scenes.

Issue 138 of the IAMT Journal is available now to members, along with the World Cup Special Edition supplement. Trusted by the industry. Driven by members.
