Over 140 broadcast professionals gathered in Basking Ridge New Jersey on March 10 and 11 for the eighth annual Technology Forum sponsored by the Vitec Group and Bexel Broadcast Services. This year, the Tech Forum achieved its greatest success as one of the broadcast industry's premier events playing host to top executives from major networks, sports leagues, and broadcast manufacturers. The Technology Forum was conceived as (and still operates as) a what is said here, stays here event. It is a gathering where top industry movers from all aspects of broadcast converge to explore, debate and uncover real solutions that matter to the production and operational engineering communities. The Forum is not about what is theoretically possible, but what is practically possible and needed in the real world. It is a place where the guests find common ground and issues and where presenters hear the real-world needs and concerns of their customers.
