Great Expectations

244 first-time exhibitors will join a variety of exhibitors on the nearly one million square feet of space that comprises 2018 NAB Show

More than 40 British companies, five for the first time, will feature the latest the UK has to offer in broadcast and media technology and services at NAB Show 2018. This annual trade show will be held at Las Vegas Convention Center from 9th to 12th April, 2018.

New to NAB this year at the British Pavilion are audio/video alignment specialists Hitomi; network storage solution provider Pixit Media; image processing experts Spectral Edge Ltd; automatic speech recognition technology providers Speechmatics; and control room solution provider Lund Halsey.

Tradefair negotiates subsidies from the UK government, provides logistical support, and provides operations for the British Pavilion, which is particularly useful for many of the smaller businesses as it enables them to focus on presenting their products and services rather than stand logistics.

The companies exhibiting in the UK Pavilion under the Technology is Great banner produce, manufacture, or represent a range of products and services that are among the best the UK has to offer. “NAB continues to be a core event for broadcasters, even in terms of defining exactly what ‘broadcast’ means these days,” said Tradefair MD, Mark Birchall. “The UK companies attending NAB Show with our support this year are key participants in that conversation.”
