Submit Your Proposal for the 2013 NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference

The six-day NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference (BEC) attracts the world's most experienced practicing broadcast engineers and technicians, and has been doing so since 1946. Presenters deliver technical papers which are then published in NAB's prestigious NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference Proceedings. Selected papers are eligible for the Best Paper Award, honoring the author(s) of a paper of exceptional merit.

Submitted proposals should be of interest to broadcast engineers and technicians, engineering consultants, contract engineers, broadcast equipment manufacturers, distributors, R&D engineers plus anyone specifically interested in the latest broadcast technologies.

Proposals should be no more than 200 words in length and explain precisely what attendees will learn. Papers promoting company products or services will not be accepted; however papers explaining the underlying technologies used in broadcast products or services will be considered. Paper presentations are limited to 30 minutes in length, including 5-10 minutes of audience Q&A.

The NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference Planning Committee will meet in October to plan the upcoming conference to be held April 6-11 at the NAB Show in Las Vegas. The conference provides educational support for the hundreds of companies that exhibit products and services at the NAB Show. A long-term relationship with the Society of Broadcast Engineers strengthens the conference program offerings and brings the popular Ennes Workshop to the event each year.

The following list of topics represent issues relevant to today's engineers, technicians, consultants and manufacturers:

Proposals for technical papers are being accepted now through October 19. If you have questions about submitting a proposal for the NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference you may contact John Marino, VP, Technology via email.
