The 2012 NAB Show will host the 66th NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference. This world-class conference addresses the most recent developments in broadcast technology and focuses on the opportunities and challenges that face broadcast engineering professionals around the world. Each year hundreds of broadcast professionals attend the conference. They include practicing broadcast engineers and technicians, engineering consultants, contract engineers, broadcast equipment manufacturers, distributors, R&D engineers plus anyone specifically interested in the latest broadcast technologies. If you feel qualified to speak at the NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference, we invite you to submit a technical paper proposal. Not all acceptable submissions can be included in the conference, due to the large number of submissions that are received and the limited number of available time slots. The deadline for submitting your proposal is October 21. Your proposal should explain precisely what conference attendees can be expected to learn from your paper. Proposals promoting company products or services will not be accepted. However, proposals explaining the underlying technologies used in broadcast products or services will be acceptable. NAB strongly encourages that those accepted to make presentations also submit a written technical paper. If your proposal is accepted, you will have until January 20, 2012 to submit your completed paper to us. After a successful review, your paper will be published in the NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference Proceedings and you will receive a complimentary copy of the Proceedings CD. The yearly proceedings is a compendium of these technical papers, and an important archive of the leading edge of broadcast engineering issues. We will consider
topics related to broadcast engineering, such as: The Future
of Broadcasting: Radio and Television Radio Engineering
Mission-Critical IT for Broadcast Improving
HD Radio™
Green Technology Radio Engineering
Forum Emergency
Operations - Planning and Implementation Implementing
Regulatory Issues for Engineers The NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference is a highly technical conference where presenters deliver technical papers ranging over a variety of topics relevant to the broadcast and allied industries.

Radio
Show Engineering Program Overview The Radio Show Engineering Program begins on September 14 with Studio/Production Day. The modern multiplatform radio station is the focus. A variety of perspectives from industry experts will show how technology is offering stations new options for studio flexibility and air personality comfort. Techniques for modern remote broadcasts, streaming and social media activities will be covered. Presenters include: Brian Janes, ESPN Radio; Gary Kline, Cumulus; Jim Roberts; BE; Paul Shulins; Greater Media and Glynn Walden, CBS Radio. On September 15, Transmission/Distribution Day, the focus turns to operational efficiency beginning with the radio transmitter plant and associated hardware. A key topic will be energy savings brought about by creative design and new developments in broadcast transmitters. Moving into the distribution area, experts will cover complementary practices that break from traditional broadcasting and show some of the new opportunities available with digital broadcasting. Presenters include: Gary Cavell, Cavell/Mertz Consultants; Steve Lockwood, Hatfield & Dawson Consultants; Paul Brenner, Emmis Communications; Jeff Littlejohn, Clear Channel; Nick Piggott, RadioDNS and John Ousby, IMDA. Also on September 15, the National Radio Systems Committee will hold meetings of its Digital Radio, RBDS, and AM & FM Analog Broadcasting Subcommittees. All attendees (except members of the press) are welcome to attend these meetings. Management issues related to broadcast towers are addressed on September 16 during Tower Day. A team of experts will explain maintenance and safety concerns relevant to all broadcasters. The demand for tower space is creating incentive for broadcasters to examine their towers to determine if they can become a source of new revenue. You will learn about the requirements of cellular operators, the challenges they face and the possible opportunities for you as a tower owner. Rich Biby, CEO, AGL Publications will lead this interactive session. The
Radio Show is jointly produced by NAB and the Radio Advertising
Bureau (RAB). The Radio Show will include an enhanced schedule
and expanded Radio Show Marketplace featuring exhibitor booths.
