NAB2005 will host the 59th NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference on April 16-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference addresses the most recent developments in broadcast technology and focuses on the opportunities and challenges that face broadcast engineering professionals around the world.
Each year hundreds of broadcast professionals from around the world attend the conference. They include practicing broadcast engineers and technicians, engineering consultants, contract engineers, broadcast equipment manufacturers, distributors, R&D engineers plus anyone specifically interested in the latest broadcast technologies.
The NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference is a highly technical conference where presenters deliver technical papers ranging over a variety of topics relevant to the broadcast and allied industries. Presentations are limited to thirty minutes in length, including five or ten minutes for questions from the audience. The conference rooms are equipped with audio visual equipment that will accommodate standard computer presentations. Presenters must bring their own computers.
We invite you to submit a proposal to present a technical paper at our conference by accessing http://www.nabshow.com/forms/beccallforpapers.asp. Proposals should be clearly written and be no more than 200 words in length. Your proposal should explain precisely what conference attendees can be expected to learn from your paper. Papers promoting company products or services will not be accepted. However, papers explaining the underlying technologies used in broadcast products or services will be acceptable.
The deadline for submitting your proposal is October 15, 2004. The selection process will begin at that time. You can expect to be notified if your paper proposal has been accepted by November 19, 2004. After receiving your acceptance, you will have until January 31, 2005 to submit your completed paper to us. Your paper will be published in the NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference Proceedings and you will receive a complimentary copy.
