NABiQ, the “innovation sprint and creative networking event” associated with the NAB Show in Las Vegas, is returning for its third consecutive year, the association has confirmed. And, due to what the NAB calls its in-person popularity among participants, NABiQ is expanding to include virtual challenges leading up to the NAB Show.
According to the NAB, “NABiQ stands out as an unparalleled education and networking opportunity to collaborate, share ideas and overcome industry challenges. Structured like a hackathon, participants will form small groups, tackling specific challenges and presenting their innovative solutions for challenges around the three show pillars — Create, Connect and Capitalize.”
For 2024, NABiQ is breaking new ground by introducing live challenges on the online community platform, NAB Amplify, before the main event. The digital, three-part series of Deep Dives topics revolve around the future of AI, AI content creation, AI content delivery and audience engagement and interaction.
The first free live workshop is on Thursday (1/25) at 1pm Eastern for the Create community.
Maria Duloquin, an innovation consultant, certified Design Sprint Master and startup coach will facilitate the event. She will be joined by NAB Amplify Senior Editor Emily Reigart for a brief discussion on unlocking the potential of Generative AI.
Industry professionals will then break into small groups and discuss pressing questions:
- What do we understand about AI in the industry so far?
- What don’t we understand about AI in the industry?
- How do we embrace the future of AI in the industry?
The in-person brainstorm series at NAB Show, scheduled for April 14-16, brings together media professionals for 12 brainstorming sessions that culminate in a daily, one-minute pitch, presented live on stage followed by a happy hour reception for additional networking.
“Our community thrives on passion, creativity and collaboration,” said Chris Brown, EVP/Managing Director of NAB’s Global Connections and Events. “Within this dynamic framework, purposeful networking unlocks innovative thinking and creates an experience that is both more meaningful and helps to create deeper connections.”
