Will life ever be the same again – supporting customers in a socially distanced world without tradeshows
Ever since news first broke of the coronavirus pandemic at the start of 2020, all the usual rules of customer engagement have been suspended in the broadcast & media tech industries. NAB was first to fall, and this has been followed, almost inevitably, by other global events such as Broadcast Asia and IBC.
For any organization – whether you are on the customer or the tech vendor side – things have been tough (and for many continue to be so). But we will emerge on the other side. The big question is how are companies managing to either disseminate or acquire the industry knowledge they require to operate their businesses?
Seemingly forever, NAB and IBC have been cornerstones of the industry. So how have companies accommodated their demise this year, and are there lessons to be learned and positives to come out of the virtual environment that has replaced these mega events? We discuss this issue with Scott Murray, Vice President of Marketing at Telestream.
