NAB PREVIEW INDUSTRY
T he annual NAB Show – or the place ‘where content comes to life’ as its slogan reads – is returning to the Las Vegas Convention Center this April. The conference, hosted by the National Association of Broadcasters, brings the broadcast, media and entertainment worlds together for four days of education and inspiration. A tough act to follow, 2023’s conference celebrated 100 years of NAB. This year hopes to be even bigger and better, packed with a little bit of everything – from lively discussions on the main stage to seminars on post-production, AI, streaming and much more. New this year, the Creator Lab conference will spotlight the ever-growing creator economy, offering interactive experiences, workshops, expert-led panels and networking events to get involved with. Whether you’re a cinematographer, editor, operator or AV engineer, NAB Show 2024 has plenty to see and do. If you haven’t already, register now and immerse yourself in everything the once-a-year symposium has to offer. NO-SKIP SEMINARS NAB Show is split into three pivotal categories: create, connect and capitalise. These pillars guide the show’s programming, urging attendees to innovate, forge new bonds and open themselves up to business opportunities. With hundreds of events on the agenda, it can be tough to fit everything into a busy schedule. We’ve compiled a list of must-see speeches and seminars – though there’s plenty more to be explored.
