WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NAB Show is launching a new forum for the cinematic community to
connect, collaborate and innovate with the debut of the Birds of a
Feather (BoF) education and networking program. Held April 8-9 during
the 2019 NAB

topics relevant to the motion picture and television content creation
communities.


The Birds of a Feather program is a series of themed, hosted,

creatives, technologists and production crews to examine topics of
mutual interest. The events are interactive, conversational, free to
host and free for NAB Show registrants to attend.


Organizations and individuals are invited to submit an application to
host a BoF meeting on a relevant topic of their choosing, subject to the

like-minded professionals around topics of interest. We are pleased to
offer this program specifically focused on the needs of our professional
content creation audience.”


This year’s BoF program will consist of one-hour sessions, four each
day, on Monday, April 8 and Tuesday, April 9. Spots are limited and will

balanced program. Completed applications are due no later than February
