The NAB Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center is an important event in the broadcast industry – and the 100th anniversary of innovation is a great time to celebrate. To learn more, we spoke with Steve Jones, the CEO of Skyview Networks, a tech-forward business.
Steve discussed the importance NAB Show has for Skyview and Radio as a whole. With technology exhibitors tailored specifically for radio, he also notes how creators would benefit from the show specifically. He recommends keeping an eye out for artificial intelligence applications on the show floor, as well as attending sessions from the Radio Advertising Bureau on how to monetize content.
Additionally, Skyview is hosting their own celebration – Cocktails and Conversation at the Capital Grille on the Sunday of the NAB Show. This is a networking event with Skyview and other industry partners, such as Beasley, Quu, Benztown, VCreative, Xperi, Radio Ink, Radio + Television Business Report, and Jacobs Media. If you are looking to meet executives on the radio business, Steve suggests the hotel lobbies between 5 and 7 pm of each day of the conference.
Steve would attend either Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra’s Vegas residency – as he enjoys Sinatra’s skills of capturing his audience through his crooning.
