2008 NAB Show Enhances Global Reach



    The NAB Show announced today 80 international groups, organized by
    50 different delegation leaders, will attend the NAB Show, April 11-17
    in Las Vegas. Nine delegations are coming to the show for the first
    time representing Jordan, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, Ghana,
    Russia, Columbia and Uruguay.

    International attendance at the 2008 NAB Show is expected to
    surpass last year´s show where more than 27,000 electronic media
    professionals representing 163 countries traveled from outside the
    U.S. to network and establish business partnerships with global
    players.

    "An increasing number of countries around the world are
    recognizing the NAB Show, not just as a radio and TV broadcasting
    show, but as the global business to business event for the entire
    electronic media industry," said NAB Executive Vice President of
    Conventions and Business Operations Chris Brown. "In fact, nearly a
    third of our overall attendance will likely be made up of
    international participants."

    Among the more than 1,600 companies exhibiting at the NAB Show,
    550 are headquartered outside the United States, up from 470 last
    year. Some of these companies will be showcased in international
    pavilions including the Bavarian Pavilion, Belgian Pavilion, China
    Pavilion, Italian Pavilion and the UK@NAB Pavilion. Brazil and India
    will also have a presence on the exhibit floor for the first time with
    dedicated pavilions.

    The NAB Show conference program will feature several informative
    sessions with an international focus including:

    -- Global Initiative: An International Update on Rollout, April
    13

    -- Globalizing Bollywood: Indian Animation and VFX Films Eye the
