For a number of years one could land in Vegas and within a two week period see CinemaCon and NAB …sometimes one was immediately after, sometimes the other.
The best years where when there was enough time that the European Digital Cinema Forum – the EDF – could put together a bus tour with members and friends to various manufacturers, studios, post and cinema facilities and…studios. Great people talking on a bus. Alas, the schedule in 2016 was too close. One fears that the schedule in 2017 might be too far apart. More as it happens.
This year it is:
CinemaCon – 27-30 March
NAB/SMPTE Weekend of Cinema – 22-23 April
NAB – 24-27 April
