NAB is BACK and BETTER THAN EVER! 

Las Vegas has done a fabulous job growing the Convention Center, kind of headed West of the original one. I discovered the growth of this the hard way by parking where I thought was in front of the Main building only to discover I had 2.500 steps to take from the new to the old! LOL

The energy, sights, sounds, displays and people were amazing. Smiling faces everywhere, so glad to be back! There was something here for everyone and just in case the weather was not pleasant, everything that I saw was all indoors. If a person could NOT find what they were looking for at this year’s NAB, then I believe it did not exist…. yet! Seminars, meetings, special events taking place all day and more. The new products were amazing! I was fortunate enough to be the first to take the Unrealride.com motorcycle ride! So much fun and to view the ride later by a download, amazing!

Besides the happy faces, open spaces, exhibits, products, services, instructions, seeing old friends and making new ones, Vegas open their doors to all as well!

Cant’s wait to get back for NAB 2024!
