WABE, the Western Association of Broadcast Engineers, wrapped up the organization’s 75th anniversary convention on Oct. 1, setting all-time attendance records.

In a time when many media and entertainment-related industry associations are struggling for membership and co-locating their events, WABE has defied the odds, expanding its reach to build a community of broadcast technicians spanning radio, TV, film, content creation, manufacturing & more.

We caught up with outgoing President Tessa Potter and Vice-President Cameron Thomson at the close of WABE’s milestone conference, to talk about bridging the past and building the future.
