The NAB Show returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 13–16 for the world’s largest electronic media event. For the pros who hunger to create and deliver quality content, the NAB Show is the only source to satisfy your appetite. Overindulge in hands-on experiences with emerging technologies and the latest innovations, limitless networking and learning opportunities, and the inspiration to take your work to the next level.

Microsoft will have even greater presence at this year’s show with an excellent new location, booth SL6610, where we’ll be demonstrating how the Microsoft platform, along with our partner ecosystem, is transforming media to a cloud-first, mobile-first world.

With our worldwide leadership teams on site, we would like to invite you to review current broadcast industry trends, learn about solutions based on the Microsoft platform, and discuss your projects and requirements with us. We have prepared the following topics along the content value chain:

• Media in the Cloud | Supporting media enterprises in reducing time to market, providing round the clock news gathering, and the creation of new revenue with dedicated audiences. The cloud enables connections to audiences on a wide range of devices including set-top-boxes, smartphones, PCs, and tablets.
• Advertising and Audience Analytics | Supporting media enterprises with solutions to achieve breakthrough insight into audiences, business performance, and profitability, and provides an integrated view of enterprise-wide risk exposure.
• Editorial Collaboration | Supporting media enterprises in multimedia content development and cross-channel publishing by providing the collaboration and mobility experiences and devices that creative and business teams want and expect.
