The future of the internet is here, and it’s taking over the media and entertainment industry in ways we’ve never seen before. The 2023 NAB Show, taking place April 15-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, is your ticket to a collaborative, immersive, and interactive exploration of the transformative impact of Web3 and other emerging technologies on the content lifecycle.
With educational programming, hands-on demonstrations, special events, networking sessions, and dozens of exhibitors on the show floor, the NAB Show promises to take you on a journey through the next generation of the internet and its potential to unlock new opportunities for content creators.
According to Chris Brown, NAB executive vice president and managing director of Global Connections and Events, “Web3 and other emerging technologies like generative AI and the metaverse are opening an entirely new chapter for content creators. The 2023 NAB Show is the ideal platform to dive into these new tools and ideas by meeting face-to-face with the experts, innovators, and companies that are unleashing the possibilities pushing the limits of our imagination.”
At the NAB Show, attendees can look forward to educational sessions covering key trends surrounding the next era of internet technology, with topics spanning Web3, data and analytics, generative AI, metaverse, and blockchain and NFTs. These sessions will offer attendees an opportunity to engage in interactive conversations and learning experiences surrounding new frontiers of innovation, while also engaging with like-minded content professionals in discussions about future collaborative opportunities.
But that’s not all. The NAB Show will also feature the Intelligent Content Experiential Zone in the West Hall, which serves as home base for those interested in these exciting new technologies. Visitors to the zone can take part in collaborative workshops and presentations showcasing products and solutions from leading companies such as Interra Systems, Shotshack, Veritone, and Wiland. The Zone is organized around themes of implementation, inspiration, and innovation and features roundtables, theaters, the AWS Partner Village, the Innovation Village, and NABiQ, which facilitates a series of competition-style sessions encouraging collaborators to devise solutions to common challenges facing media broadcasting.
And if that’s not enough, NAB Show, in collaboration with StoryTech, will offer attendees a guided, curated tour of the show floor around two themes related to intelligent content: managing data and innovation in virtual production. Each tour will facilitate communication between storytellers and technology companies, provide briefings, and feature exhibitors and products that are driving conversations around the latest content business models.
The NAB Show is also an opportunity to check out leading brands, emerging companies, and startups exhibiting new Web3 and other next-generation internet technologies and solutions. Exhibitors will be showcasing products in categories such as AI and machine learning, data analytics, content discovery, search, metadata software and applications, personalization, voice AI and recognition, internet of things, and edge networking. Key exhibiting companies include Amagi, AWS, Digital Nirvana, Microsoft, Oracle, SDVI, SSimWave, TSV Analytics, Veritone, and Vistex.
But it’s not all about business at the NAB Show. Attendees are also invited to take part in the AWS Free Kick Challenge, located in the West Hall Lobby. Participants can kick a sensor-filled soccer ball into a real-world goal, with connected ball technology supported by machine learning providing insight into real-time ball movement. A leaderboard will be on display throughout NAB Show letting attendees compare and track their effort against their peers.
