I spent Sunday and Monday at the NAB conference in Las Vegas. (That is how I recommend seeing it, the conference is too big to see it all in one day, but four days in Vegas can drain your soul;) I saw all sorts of interesting things in the exhibition halls, many of which I detailed in my earlier article. I attended alone, instead as part of a larger team, but after 20 years of trade shows, I am constantly running into familiar faces, some of whom I only see at the show. There were apparently 58K other people there, but nearly half were first time attenders. I spent most of my time in North Hall, which is focused on software applications, and the computers that run them. West Hall is mostly enterprise and cloud based workflows, and Central Hall is where all of the production gear and other hardware is on display.
