First impression

By Don Day 

This is my first trip to NAB/RTNDA. The NAB convention floor is overwhelming – and there are probably dozens of blog items to be pulled out. The RTNDA exhibits – a short walk away at the Las Vegas Hilton took me about 5 minutes to walk through. Many of the two dozen or so exhibitors looked like they were ready to fall asleep – and they weren’t particularly engaging (maybe it’s because I look like a student with my flip flops and MacBook-carrying backpack…) The booths don’t really add anything about the companies that I couldn’t learn on their respective websites. The NAB side is packed with gadgets, gizmos, demonstrations and energy. Why not just push the two events together as one and do away with the distinction between them?
