NAB 2005

In a couple of weeks, broadcast professionals from around the world will converge onto a tiny city in the middle of the desert. Las Vegas will host the NAB2005 Show from April 16th to April 21st.

Some keynote speakers which will be appearing are from HP, Verizon, the FCC, Clear Channel, Sun, and ABC and CBS News. See the full list of speakers and the keynotes for the industry here.

As much as I would like to attend this great event and see all the new technologies and fancy gear, SharkBoy is going to keep me occupied until the beginning of May. This year promises to have some exciting new developments from Apple, and of course Autodesk Media and Entertainment (AME, formerly Discreet). And a chance to see these packages in action!

Some highlights from the show will include forums on HDTV, 5.1 Surround, Digital Media Theatre and Creation, Satellite Business, and Digital Asset Management. If you haven't yet attended this event, and you're in the broadcast and electronic media industry, what are you waiting for?
