NAB 2004: Las Vegas
Macromedia is planning to have a booth at NAB 2004 this year. To the best of my knowledge, this will be the first time that we have had our own booth at the show.
For those of you that are not familiar, NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) is the biggest video show of the year. We decided to have a serious presence this year due to Flash’s ground-breaking web video support. With Flash Player 6 standing at 93% + penetration, it’s hands-down the most widely available video playback mechanism on the web. Our video support story is so good that we really want to try and get Flash into the hands of video professionals.
As of Dec’03, according to NPD research:
Flash Player 6 - 93%
Windows Media Player - 61%
RealPlayer - 57%
Quicktime - 47%
We’re working on some top-secret plans to have a REALLY COOL sponsor at the show this year. I can’t say who yet, but I guarantee it will be cool. All I can say is that they’ll be in our booth giving away free stuff…
Greg Rewis and I will be there doing all of the theater demos so we hope to see you there.
Also, if you have any references to some great Flash video experiences you’ve encountered, please post them in the comments so we’re sure we don’t miss anything.

Awsome, I am attending NAB. Macromedia will be one of my MUST STOP booth. Looking forward to seeing your demo. Very interested in Flash video and Comm.Server can do for us.
Good Luck.

It was indeed a great one! But it would have been really great if “Object oriented ActionScript - Design patterns” was covered in the seminar. That was the most exciting topic I was looking forward to.
