Nautel, which is celebrating its 55th year as a transmitter manufacturer, is gearing up for its annual Radio Technology Forum. Known to many as “The NUG.” the event, which will take place at the Flamingo Las Vegas, will be hosted by broadcast educator Jeff Welton.
In a departure from prior years’ events, the first hour of the forum on April 14 will be comprised of an “Industry Briefing Breakfast.”
The event begins at 8:30am Pacific and includes a presentation titled “EAS at the Edge,” in addition to a session on what one journalist is watching for at the NAB Show.
Key Nautel product announcements and a “tips and tricks” session is also on the agenda. Separately, Nautel will conduct a “HD Radio 101” session, directed to anyone contemplating an HD radio deployment or just wanting a refresh on HD Radio transmission best practices.
Nautel Head of Marketing and Product Strategy John Whyte commented, “We work hard to
make sure the content in that first hour is of interest to all broadcasters, no matter what brand of transmitters they operate. For those who are able to stay until the end of the Forum, we will offer lunch as usual. And, because it’s Nautel’s 55th anniversary we’re celebrating with over 55 prizes to be awarded throughout the morning.”
The Radio Technology Forum is open to all broadcasters and is free to attend; it qualifies as ½ SBE Recertification credit as well. To register for the Radio Technology Forum, visit
