SVG Chairman’s Forum

We are sure many of you are starting to make your NAB plans so it is once again time to make sure you set aside the weekend of April 5 to join us at the Red Rocks Hotel in Las Vegas for the 2013 SVG Chairman’s Forum.

This year’s NAB promises to introduce a number of technologies that will change the future of sports broadcasting. Whether it is cloud-based video production systems, second-generation 4K acquisition systems, or next-generation HD compression better tools and better ways for your team to do its job are just a tradeshow floor away.

Best regards,
