Experts from government agencies define their needs and are joined by their peers from industry offering the commercial perspective on possible solutions.
Attendees are invited to interact with speakers and panelists during morning sessions. In the afternoon, time is provided to visit and talk with exhibitors on the NAB Show floor.
