Las Vegas Convention Center
Explore current and emerging technical topics highlighting how evolving technologies are reshaping radio, television, digital platforms and the wider media and IT landscape.
The NAB Broadcast Engineering and IT (BEIT) Conference showcases the fast-evolving technologies transforming broadcast and digital media, from cloud-native and IP-based workflows to AI-driven automation, virtualization and the expanding capabilities of NextGen TV. The program explores real-world challenges, breakthrough innovations, standards development and forward-looking strategies shaping modern media operations. Engineers, technologists and industry leaders gain practical insights to streamline workflows, enhance resilience, improve scalability and future-proof their infrastructure amid an increasingly complex, data-driven content creation and distribution ecosystem.
The BEIT Conference is shaped by a uniquely diverse programming committee whose collective expertise drives the heartbeat of the program. Each year, these industry architects meticulously review and score submitted technical papers and panel proposals on pure merit, ensuring that only the most relevant, innovative and impactful ideas make the cut. Their creative vision has guided BEIT for decades, continually elevating the standard of technical education at NAB Show.
Thanks to their dedication, BEIT remains a cornerstone of the event — where engineers, technologists and innovators converge to explore the future of broadcast and media technology.
