NABEF to Recognize EIIT Award Winners at NAB Show


The NAB Education Foundation (NABEF) will recognize winners of the 2016 Excellence in Innovative Technology Awards at the Innovation Celebration on Wednesday, November 9 at NAB Show in New York. The Excellence in Innovative Technology Awards showcase students who develop products, services or applications that impact and promote technology in the communications industry.

Award winners were required to design a product that relates to radio, television, digital, mobile technologies, social media, streaming, information management, web or other telecommunications-based applications. The prototypes will be presented at the luncheon. In addition to being recognized, winners have the opportunity to connect with digital media companies and other exhibitors at NAB Show New York.

"The media industry is in a constant state of evolution. New technologies and products are shaping the way we conduct business and lead our lives," said NABEF President Marcellus Alexander. "The NAB Education Foundation is honored to highlight the groundbreaking work and innovative projects these forward-thinking students have developed."

Barry Libert, CEO of leading business model science and network optimization company OpenMatter, will provide the keynote address. Author of "The Network Imperative: How to Survive and Grow in the Age of Digital Business Models," Libert has advised numerous technology and media companies on how to drive growth with digital platforms and virtual networks. His address will explore an emerging model of social and business growth.
