All eyes are on NAB for announcements of new products and new mergers! Every year come April, there are big announcements and we get another glimpse into how the market and technologies are changing and adapting. Much of this can be seen from what happened at IBC and NAB the year before…but the devil is in the details and this is where the experienced eye of editors such as Jenny Priestley (TVB Europe) and Tom Butts (TV Technology) come in.

Jenny and Tom will take us through the things to keep a look out for at NAB – or for those not attending what to look out for in the press releases!
