Organizers of the TAB Show are calling attention to the conference’s radio-relevant content this year.
The Texas Association of Broadcasters says radio will have a “huge footprint” at the show, which will be held in early August outside of Austin.
They’ve also announced that broadcasters in nearby states will be able to attend at the $165 TAB member rate; that applies to radio professionals in New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. An exhibits-only option costs $70.
Technical sessions will cover AI applications in radio; RF sweeps of transmission lines and antennas; building a podcast studio; how to get the most out of SNMP; and the ongoing saga of the C-Band.
Speakers discussing programming, management and sales will include Jimmy Steal, Gordon Borrell, Jeff Schmidt, Phil Becker, Seth Resler, Juan Galdamez, Beth Mann, Tom McAuliffe and Chris Del Conte. (Speaker info is here.)
The closing night’s Awards Gala will include salutes to Ben Downs of Bryan Broadcasting with the TAB Lifetime Achievement Award; Hill Country Broadcasting’s Jan Fritz, the Pioneer Broadcaster of the Year; ATW Media Owner/Operator Paul Gleiser, the Radio Broadcaster of the Yea; and San Antonio’s Cox Media Group, honored as Radio Station of the Year.
Attendance is expected to be around 1,200 people. The exhibitor list has around 80 companies so far.
“The educational content offerings are extensive— impossible for one person to take in — and focus on engineering, revenue growth, programming and leadership,” TAB said in a release.
