10 World V I D E O A G E October 2022 can be a challenge to pinpoint non-conflicting dates. We have consistently scheduled NAB Show New York in the third week of October. We will always do our best, with the information we have at hand, to schedule our events when they can be most effective for the industry. VA: How are you bringing station managers (or GMs) from local stations back to the NYC convention? CB: Station managers will find guidance from implementation-centric exhibits and industry experts about how they can streamline workflows, upgrade their systems, solve problems and maximize efficiency. The Experiential Zone is part of the immersive show floor experience and includes a Tech Chat stage, dedicated networking space, and a Content Theater, which will serve as the hub for keynote sessions, award ceremonies, and in-depth conversations about media trends. TVNewsCheck will present the 6th annual TV2025: Monetizing the Future. This is a unique conference gathering TV station group executives and technology partners to talk about how technology will enable emerging and developing revenue streams. Themes include Cybersecurity, NextGen TV, audience research and revenue opportunities for local media. The Cine Live Lab is a new destination on the NAB Show floor featuring daily, handson demonstrations of the latest tools and techniques in cinematic storytelling and live broadcast TV production. Sessions will cover managing cinematic multi-cam projects, audience experience goals, identifying the roles of production teammembers, as well as equipment and skillsets required of crews. VA: Is there a thematic difference between NAB Show Las Vegas (in April) and NAB New York? CB: The focus in New York is squarely on implementation — one of three dimensions that were part of the new organization and focus at the Las Vegas convention. In April we introduced four new content pillars: Create, Connect, Capitalize, and Intelligent Content. [The] NAB Show Las Vegas provides the comprehensive experience and a roadmap to the future. For two days starting on October 19, 2022, the Washington, D.C.-based National Association of Broadcasters will stage its annual NAB Show New York, smack in the middle of MIPCOM CANNES. This is unfortunate since the NAB Show attracts a good number of U.S. TV station managers and general managers who would be valuable contacts for U.S. and international TV distribution companies that like to syndicate their shows in the U.S. To address this issue, VideoAge contacted Chris Brown, EVP and managing director of Global Connections and Events at NAB (pictured at right). VideoAge: Many producers and content distributors are going to miss NAB Show New York because they will be at MIPCOM in Cannes. Is there a way for the two organizations (RX and NAB) to work out non-conflicting dates? Chris Brown: We do our best to schedule around the regular dates of other industry events. We also exchange future plans and dates with other convention organizers. Despite this, it is not always possible to avoid conflicts. Space and dates are limited commodities, and when other factors are weighed — such as national, global, and religious holidays — it The Conflicting Dates of NAB Show andMIPCOM (Continued from Page 8) SEPTEMBER 2022 JUNIOR PAGE_ 7.284”x 9.055” VIDEO AGE JR.
