Who is going to NAB 2006?

Jeff DeMaagd · March 8th, 2006, 11:26 AM

I think I can go and would like to go but I can't quite justify it, so maybe next year. I would like to meet the folks at Beachtek but I got word that they aren't going to NAB '06.

I would like to see Sony's booth this year, but if I can request that someone take a few photos for me, that would be very appreciated.

Well, I decided to go to NAB! Couldn't pass up a trip to meet so many of the nice people on this forum. Besides, I haven't been to Vegas in many many years. Do they have a place at the Convention center where you can lock-up your credit cards before entering?!?!?!?!?

Many thanks to the folks at Quantel for the code.

We will have to figure a place to meet up while there. Did you set anything up yet Chris?

See you soon,

Mike

There's that, and another matter of importance: Greg, how's it going with the airlines and that keg? Need help? ;)

Rob Lohman · March 21st, 2006, 01:22 PM

That's good news Mike, we'll see you there!

Zack Birlew · March 21st, 2006, 02:17 PM

I figured at some point we'd all be over at the RED booth! =D

I know I'll be there Monday morning first thing.

Robert Kirkpatrick · March 21st, 2006, 03:31 PM

I just convinced work to pay (well, reimburse me) for my hotel, ticket, and classes for the Post/Production Conference. I plan on being there the whole time. I'm actually looking forward to the classes. I can tell you that trying to find a place with 6 days of consecutive rooms is next to impossible right now -- unless you want to pay an arm and a leg. Even the non-conference hotels (and some of the motels!) are already $225+ a night. I lucked out with Harrah's -- the hotel casinos seem cheaper than the non-casino hotels. I need to start researching cheap eats. This will be my first time in Vegas, if you don't count the time I drove through on a Greyhound bus.

And yeah, I'll be hunting down the RED booth too. I have a feeling that's gonna be crowded.

I'm also thinking of hitting the Red booth first thing Monday morning. I had earlier proposed the cafeteria near the North Hall as an impromptu morning meetup, perhaps in the hour before the show floor opens.

But Red has changed my mind. I think I may need to go there first, otherwise I won't be able to think about anything else. How about we all meet for breakfast at the South Hall cafeteria?

Joe Carney · March 22nd, 2006, 10:48 AM

I'm getting there the Friday before to see some of the Vegas sites. I buy a lot of home theater stuff from Tweeter and they said I should check out their concept store. I heard the Apple store was pretty good too.

I lucked out and got a room at the Frontier for 49.95 a nite through vegas.com, cost me 10 bucks in fees, but I'm saving enough I can take a cab to the convetion each day (3 miles away).

I actually got good air prices on Ted (United) booking through Yahoo travel online.

Ken Willinger · March 24th, 2006, 04:43 PM

I don't post here often but since I'm also going to NAB I thought I'd chime in. I'm arriving on Tuesday the 25th. If there are any get togethers please post here. I'd enjoy meeting some of you.

Michael Horton · March 25th, 2006, 01:06 PM

Make sure you hit the ProMax event Tuesday night at the Stardust and the FCPUG event at the Rio Wednesday night. Lots of folks from this forum will be there

I was wrong, not the fremont hotel, the El Cortez near Fremont street.
No internet access in room, but I have Verizon Wireless Broadband for my Laptop, so I can connect anywhere. Las Vegas is covered.

Question...are any sort of camera or camcorders allowed in? I would love to get video of cool stuff and upload for people to see.
