FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

To make it as easy as possible to attend DVB World, we keep the registration fees low. The standard fee is €200 for non-members and €100 for those working for a DVB Member company.

If your company would like to provide additional support to the event and help us to offset the costs, you can select the “Sponsor” option when registering (and bring two colleagues along to the event with you, among other benefits); we also have exhibitor packages available. See the next question for details.

24.02.2026: The exhibition is now full; we are not accepting any further applications.

Any company that would like to exhibit DVB World 2026 can do so by choosing the “exhibitor” option when registering for the event. The fee for DVB Member companies is €3,000; for non-members it’s €4,000.

In addition to all of the logo visibility benefits provided to supporters exhibitors will be provided five event tickets, an elevator pitch from the stage, and a space in thee dedicated exhibition area that will be open throughout DVB World 2026.

The full Exhibitor package is detailed in this PDF.

  • Each exhibitor is invited to give a 1-minute elevator pitch on stage at the start of the conference
  • A space will be provided in the exhibition room, with a table, two chairs, a wired internet connection (if required) and electricity.
  • Screens or other necessary equipment and feeds must be arranged directly with the event venue and are at the exhibitor’s own expense.
  • Exhibitors can install their material on the morning of 17 March. The exhibition space will open from 12:00 to 19:00 on 17 March; and from 08:30 to 17:00 on 18 March.
  • The exhibition space will be open throughout the afternoon on 17 March, with several coffee breaks when participants can visit. It will remain open all day on 18 March, when the unconference format means participants will be free to move around the venue throughout the day, providing ample opportunities to visit the exhibition area.

On the afternoon of 17 March, we will offer a conference programme of keynotes, panel discussions, technology updates and quickfire briefings.

On 18 March, we will shift to smaller groups in focused discussions on topics proposed by participants. You can read more about this unconference format here. It has proved highly popular with DVB World attendees in the past four years and has served as a source of new ideas and energy for DVB’s working groups.

A wiki is available for suggesting unconference sessions ahead of the event. It’s not mandatory but it can help people to prepare for the discussions and may encourage others to attend.

DVB World 2026 will commence with a light lunch at 12:00 on Tuesday 17 March, when the exhibition area will also open. The conference programme will kick off at 13:00 and will run until 18:30, when all participants will be invited to attend a social gathering in our event venue.

The opening circle for the unconference day will begin at 09:00 on Wednesday 18 March, with sessions running throughout the day. The closing circle will end at 17:00 and will be followed by an apéritif to mark the end of the event, when DVB’s 2026 Honorary Fellowship will also be presented.

No. This is a physical event that will be neither streamed nor recorded.

All those who wish to be involved with the event must register as either a participant, a supporter or an exhibitor. This applies also to trade journalists, who are welcome to attend and participate.

Anyone reporting on the event should ensure that participants in the unconference are not quoted without their permission – conversations will be “off the record” unless the contrary has been confirmed. This does not apply to statements made during conference presentations on the opening day.

Keep it casual! (Or whatever works best for you.)
