Sensory Overload at Las Vegas NAB

Charles Mawson
Telecommunications Anylist, CCCCO

What does it feel like to have sensory overload? What does it feel like to be a sardine in a can? What does it feel like to lose count of how many vendors there are and know it is impossible to visit all of them? Go to the next National Association of Broadcaster’s Conference (NAB) in Las Vegas and find out.

Each year for five days in early April over 100,000 people attend the NAB Conference in Las Vegas

It is a "must attend" conference for anyone involved in their college’s use of radio, television or satellite. All of the latest equipment is displayed in two large conference centers, each the size of several football fields. Additionally, there were over 100 sessions, keynotes and special events held at the conference.

Add to the above the spectacular hotels, free light shows, water fountains and other activities and the potential for sensory overload becomes clear.
