The Las Vegas NAB Show 2018 kicked off in fine style Monday evening April 9th as more than 500 Canadian attendees gathered poolside at the Flamingo Hotel to usher in a new era for the Great Canadian Suite. Created by Applied Electronics for more than 50 years ago, the legendary event was resurrected after a 2-year hiatus by Glynn Evans and James Musselman of Stonehenge Digital, Terry Martindale and Amy Lee, and a who’s who of industry supporters. Plans for 2019 are already underway.
More than $15,000 in prizes were also given away to celebrate the event.
