I know that as far as industry trade shows go NAB and IBC usually get all the press, but I really like Broadcast Asia. First of all, it’s much smaller. I don’t know how many kilometers I’ve racked up walking the halls of the LVCC in my life, but there’s something relieving for a trade show veteran to the concentrated physical area that the show’s held in.
Secondly, its much more intimate. It’s very easy to walk up to anyone and get a demo, or arrange an appointment, and actually talk to company reps rather than temp booth-staffers. Broadcast Asia gives you the luxury of time and personal contact that the other shows lack.
