Additionally, a number of countries are being represented by official delegations for the first time. These include Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Norway and Israel. In total, there are over 110 first- time exhibitors, including Samsung, Deluxe Entertainment, Panavision and Corning.

This year, NAB Show’s theme is “Metamorphosis — The Changing Face of Media and Entertainment.” Highlights of the event will include NAB Show Super Sessions and General Sessions, which offer perspective on the trends and technologies that are affecting the future of entertainment and media. Super Sessions include “Display Technologies of the Future,” “Start-Ups: Powering the Media Metamorphosis,” “Mapping the Future of Broadcast Television,” and “TV Evolved: Successful Online Video Business Models.” Some General Sessions include “NAB Show Opening,” “Lowell McAdam: A Candid Conversation” (a discussion with the president and CEO of Verizon) and “The App Advantage: Leveraging Connected Devices to Deepen Engagement.” The NAB Labs Futures Park, which features high-profile media technologies that are in development, will put a spot- light on NHK’s 8K Video, the latest iter- ation of its Super Hi-Vision system. This year, there will be a new exhibition area called the Connected Media World, featuring companies that focus on IPTV, mobile, social and cloud technologies, devices and content.
