It's another full day of programming and ends with a return of the Amateur Radio Operators Reception, also known as the HAM Reception. 

Monday at NAB Show, we start by hearing NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt's first ever state of the broadcast industry remarks, and we'll see a demonstration of a precision drone fight using ATSC 3.0 RTK datacast. The day ends with the Futures Park Press Conference and Reception.

For the first time ever, the exhibition floor opens on SUNDAY! Lace up comfortable shoes and hit the floor starting at 10 a.m. Be sure to stop by the PILOT booth in Futures Park in the West Hall.

While exhibitors (including PILOT) put the finishing touches on the show floor, the conference programming begins, and we start with a can't miss event for broadcast engineers and media technologists - the BEIT Conference Opening Session.

The HAM reception, sponsored this year by Turner Engineering, is where hundreds of broadcasting’s best and brightest, from company CEO’s to shop technicians, spend a relaxed evening talking shop, swapping tales and enjoying the fellowship of the amateur radio community.

The PILOT Innovation Challenge seeks startups and growing companies providing solutions to some of the key challenges and opportunities facing broadcasters over the next two to three years. You can meet the 2021 and 2022 winners at the NAB Show. All winners will demonstrate their solutions on the exhibition floor and talk about their work at sessions throughout the Show.

Two special sessions at NAB Show will be of particular interest to broadcast engineers and media technology enthusiasts: the Broadcast Engineering and IT (BEIT) Conference Opening Session and the keynote and awards session “Hollywood's ‘Binge Times’ OTT Battle and the NAB Engineering Achievement Awards.”
