IABM is delivering a strategic transformation at NAB Show designed to fiercely champion members amidst global, industry challenges, elevating and innovating to ensure IABM remains at the heart of the conversations that matter.
Saleha Williams, CEO, IABM, said: “I was brought in to revitalize IABM, understanding that it demanded decisive action. The Board and wider membership gave a clear mandate, encouraging early, tough calls to enable IABM to survive in the current economic climate and pave the way for exciting member innovations.
“With a focus on fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and empowering member thought leadership, I’m excited to deliver real impact and value for our members as part of their presence at NAB.”
Members attending NAB Show will experience a re-energized media and entertainment trade association, with the IABM Member Lounge (N259LMR) a premier destination for industry engagement: a purpose-designed, collaborative space for curated gatherings, informal meetups, and inspiring sessions to encourage innovation and insight.
