Emap had previously owned a 55 per cent share of the annual exhibition and conference and its sister event The Production Show.

BVE was formed from the merger of Broadcast Live and Video Forum.

Exhibition director Charlotte Bowskill said: “A successful working partnership with VCM has enabled the show to go from strength to strength, delivering hundreds of seminars, increasing exhibitor numbers and attracting over 12,000 visitors. We look forward to continuing a close relationship with our customers, associations and the press to deliver an even stronger show in 2011.”

Plans for 2011 include a new 3D Revolution seminar room, enhanced Audio Room, larger post production suite and improved VIP programme.

The 2011 show is expected to be 15% bigger with more exhibitors and seminars.

BVE 2011 will take place 15 - 17 February at Earls Court 2 in London.
