NAB and its collaborators have made progress in three major areas in the last quarter of 2024.

The 2025 PILOT Innovation Challenge is open until 5 p.m. ET on February 21, 2025.  This year, we’re excited to collaborate with PropelME at the NAB Show. Any PropelME exhibitor with a product or solution that is relevant to broadcasters is eligible to apply.

We wanted to know what technologists in our industry are excited about and expect or hope to see in 2025, so we asked the NAB Technology staff and a few other luminaries in the industry if they had anything to share. They did. This compilation is our way of wrapping up 2024 by looking forward to 2025.

On Friday, October 25, the PILOT NextGen TV fellows from Howard University, the University of Missouri, and the University of Minnesota gathered at NAB Headquarters for the official in-person program kickoff event. Special thanks to AWS for its continued support and sponsorship of the PILOT NextGen TV Fellowship.

On September 9-11, 2024, we hosted a group of decision-makers and innovators who are shaping the future of the broadcast industry for a series of in-depth discussions and presentations dedicated to AI. NAB Futures: AI provided a unique opportunity to share ideas and experiences with other broadcasters charting a course to the future of broadcasting. Part inspiration, part innovation, part implementation - NAB Futures: AI focused on the potential of AI in broadcasting.  

In our last update on the Broadcast Positioning System, we detailed the progress we made in the spring, installing and testing BPS at WHUT in Washington, D.C. Frome June through August, a season known for taking time off, the BPS team had their own twist on summer vacation.
