Proposals Now Being Accepted for 2012 NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference

Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada USA
Conferences April 14 – 19, 2012 Exhibits April 16 – 19, 2012

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:

Television Engineering

Operational Efficiencies for Television

Implementing Mobile TV

The Future of Broadcasting: Radio and Television

TV Loudness and Lipsync

Video Format Conversions

Translators and Repeaters for DTV

Metadata Essentials for Broadcast and Archiving

Mission-Critical IT for Broadcast

Green Technology

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. Presentations are limited to thirty minutes in length, including five or ten minutes for questions from the audience. The conference rooms are equipped with audio visual equipment that will accommodate standard computer presentations.

Papers published in the Broadcast Engineering Conference Proceedings also will be eligible for consideration for the NAB Best Paper Award. Established in 2010, the Best Paper Award honors the author(s) of a paper of exceptional merit published in the Proceedings.
