IBF 24 is a phenomenon! Now into its third year, IBF 24 is hard to fully describe in words. It’s a live global interactive experience and gathering of thousands of the world’s intranet, digital and online practitioners – plus swathes of colleagues from communications, technology, human resources and quite a few CIOs and CTOs.
IBF 24 is a FREE 24 hour online interactive broadcast from the Intranet Benchmarking Forum, showcasing live intranet tours and the latest from industry thought leaders. It is a very informal, interactive and fun event.
“It was kind of like being on Jerry Lewis’ Labor Day telethon: there’s just something about the heroic, endurance-test nature of IBF 24 that makes it more fun.” Steve Krug, Advanced Common Sense
“IBF 24 is to intranet professionals what an unattended candy store is to a small child, Christmas came all at once.” Dorje McKinnon, Lincoln University, NZ
IBF 24 2010 proved to be a landmark day for the global intranet and digital workplace industry, featuring global thought leaders and more than 20 live tours of the world’s most innovative intranets. But for IBF 24 2011 (on May 17-18), we expect many more to attend all over the world, with many in person gatherings happening locally.
It’s free to air and everyone is welcome. You will find it addictive – the average tune in time is nine hours, we are told. You will never experience so much content concentrated into 24 hours. Additionally, all that you enjoy can be listened to and watched later if you are an IBF Member or IBF Live subscriber. However, we’ll be releasing the IBF 24 archive in weekly episodes, so it’s not like being there.
“I’m going to go as far as taking annual leave on those days and stocking up on the energy drinks. That’s how excited I am about taking part in this event!
” Zeb Ahmed, Bank of New Zealand
Turn In, Tune in, Get Excited - have your questions answered live on air, phone in and chat to the studio guests, join the twitter back channel which goes crazy as the show kicks in. And we don’t care what happens to trains, planes and automobiles because we will be live on air for 24 hours and you don’t need to step outside your front door, cafe, office, hotel, meeting room or who knows where!
