NAB Show Virtual View, the first virtual extension of the NAB Show in Las Vegas, will launch live on May 12, 2011. The event will feature exhibitor demonstrations, interviews and booth tours, as well as live interactive video chats with industry experts on important discoveries that emerge from the NAB Show. NAB Show Virtual View will also include live keynotes of original content, and select recorded sessions from the show itself.

"We believe virtual technology is at a point where we can deliver a high-quality online experience for our attendees, speakers, and the exhibitors," said NAB Executive Vice President, Conventions and Business Operations, Chris Brown. "We plan to take advantage of advancements that allow for better integration of video and social media tools, which should translate into a much more interactive and valuable experience for our show community."

NAB Show Virtual View, NAB's first official online forum, was designed to facilitate dialogue and the exchange of new ideas regarding the latest developments coming out of the NAB Show and their impact on the content business community. The event will include:

• Video showcases from participating companies, as well as the ability to download collateral materials such as white papers, brochures, product/services information, and case studies.
• Live video chats with industry experts on key discoveries from the NAB Show.
• Original sessions in the auditorium discussing the "show effect" and their business projections based on new information gleaned from the NAB Show.
• On demand sessions of the most popular breakout sessions from the NAB Show.
• A social media component enabling seamless exhibitor and attendee engagement.
