Now that CES is done, we can look forward to The NAB Show (National Association of Broadcasters), coming up April 10 - 15, in Las Vegas (see last year's post).
NAB is much more then broadcasting -- it covers the broad range from content acquisition and creation to distribution and delivery.
There's plenty to see and do, with some 85,000 attendees and 1,500 exhibitors. Check out the latest equipment, including cameras (e.g., Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony) and capture hardware (AJA, Matrox), and see tutorials on the new creative software (Adobe, Avid, but not Apple).
For working pros, NAB also offers serious digital media training with Post|Production World -- five days of training on the latest techniques and practices for producers, directors, editors, designers and new media professionals, plus Apple and Avid official certification training.
If you're interested in more shows, I've also updated my list of Digital Media Conferences for 2010, including regional events around New York City.
