This month's issue is mainly about what will be shown at the fast approaching NAB Show 2008. While neither Apple or Avid will be exhibiting, which will certainly change the landscape of the South Hall, there will be plenty to see from over 1,600 exhibitors and more than enough to learn from over 550 educational events and sessions. As a media partner of the NAB Show, we'd like to invite you to register for free admission by using our VIP Guest Pass Code X157.
