NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference Issues Call for Papers

Educational presentations attract diverse, tech-focused audience

The Broadcast Engineering Conference will be held at the 2014 NAB Show in Las Vegas April 5–10, and it has issued a call for papers.

The six-day conference attracts broadcast engineers and technicians, engineering consultants, contract engineers, broadcast equipment manufacturers, distributors, R&D engineers and others interested in broadcast technologies.

Presenters deliver technical papers, which are then published in NAB’s Broadcast Engineering Conference Proceedings.

Presentations are limited to 30 minutes, including 5–10 minutes of Q&A. Papers will be grouped and presented within a particular topic area (for example, Implementing Mobile TV) as determined by the BEC Programming Committee.

Full manuscripts will be due via email by Jan. 20, 2014. Papers must be at least 2,500 words and educational in nature (meaning papers promoting company products or services will not be accepted) and must be submitted as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. Full formatting instructions will be provided upon acceptance of submission.
