Every year, when they hand out the last trophy of the evening and call the winners to the stage for a group photograph at the ASBU BroadcastPro Selevision Awards, I feel a huge boulder roll off my chest as we complete one more edition of the event successfully.
Every year, when they hand out the last trophy of the evening and call the winners to the stage for a group photograph at the ASBU BroadcastPro Selevision Awards, I feel a huge boulder roll off my chest as we complete one more edition of the event successfully. We hosted the sixth ASBU BroadcastPro Summit and Awards last month, and I feel truly humbled by the manner in which the entire MENA broadcast fraternity congregates for this event, not just as attendees but as active participants.
The weeks leading up to the ASBU BroadcastPro Summit and Awards are, no doubt, challenging but we have got this far successfully due to the support of industry specialists and leaders, who have helped us further our endeavour to create a vibrant broadcast community in this region. Whether its helping to put together the agenda, spreading the word about the conference, helping secure panellists, participating as a speaker or even providing us with a couple of raffle prizes, we are touched by the support we have received from individuals, broadcasters and manufacturers in the industry.
In return, I can proudly say that we have steadfastly kept our promise to never run vendor presentations and demos from sponsors, except for the odd occasion when we have made certain that the information they share will genuinely add value to the industry.
Im equally delighted to announce that this year we beat all past records, with more than 300 professionals attending the conference and more than 400 people joining us for the Awards. We struggled to seat everyone, because the event is getting bigger and better and more C-level executives are joining us from both regional and international shores, but is that a complaint? Not at all. In fact, we couldnt ask for more. This months issue celebrates these leaders of the industry, the panellists, the winners and everyone in MENA TV broadcast. To all of us!
