There is less than one week left, as we write these lines, before one of the most important events in the world of Broadcasting, -the NAB Show- begins. One more year, TM Broadcast International will attend the Las Vegas Convention Center so as not to miss any element of the novelties and technological advances that more than 1,000 exhibitors will showcase in this edition.

This year, the fair is celebrating no less than its 100th anniversary, and there will be many events and activities to celebrate it. Although its number of attendees is still far from pre-pandemic figures, the organizers expect that it will sharply increase this year. In 2022 52,000 people visited the fair, including technology manufacturers, broadcasting companies, filmmakers, producers, journalists and many other industry professionals. This is still a far cry from the 100,000 attendees in 2019, but undoubtedly in 2023 we will see an increase in visitors as compared to last year. Because although remote working has spread considerably throughout the world, face-to-face is essential when doing business.

Technology fairs are an integral part of development and innovation in any field. They represent a unique opportunity for companies to introduce their latest products and services to a global audience and for attendees to discover new trends and emerging technologies in their field of work. Technology manufacturers can present their latest inventions and receive direct feedback from end users, which in turn can help improve and refine their products.

In addition, these events are a crucial source of information and education for industry professionals. Visitors can attend conference sessions and workshops on relevant industry topics and learn from experts and leaders in their respective fields. So let’s pack! The NAB Show is waiting for us.
