["Allison, Art" <AAllison at nab.org>]

NAB2005 will host the 59th NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference on April
16-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The
conference addresses the most recent developments in broadcast technology
and focuses on the opportunities and challenges that face broadcast
engineering professionals around the world.

Each year hundreds of broadcast professionals from around the world attend
the conference.  They include practicing broadcast engineers and
technicians, engineering consultants, contract engineers, broadcast
equipment manufacturers, distributors, R&D engineers plus anyone
specifically interested in the latest broadcast technologies.
  
The NAB Broadcast Engineering Conference is a highly technical conference
where presenters deliver technical papers ranging over a variety of topics
relevant to the broadcast and allied industries.  Presentations are limited
to thirty minutes in length, including five or ten minutes for questions
from the audience.  The conference rooms are equipped with audio visual
equipment that will accommodate standard computer presentations.  Presenters
must bring their own computers.

We invite you to submit a proposal to present a technical paper at our
conference by accessing http://www.nabshow.com/forms/beccallforpapers.asp.
Proposals should be clearly written and be no more than 200 words in length.
Your proposal should explain precisely what conference attendees can be
expected to learn from your paper.  Papers promoting company products or
services will not be accepted.  However, papers explaining the underlying
technologies used in broadcast products or services will be acceptable.

The deadline for submitting your proposal is October 15, 2004.  The
selection process will begin at that time.  You can expect to be notified if
your paper proposal has been accepted by November 19, 2004.  After receiving
your acceptance, you will have until January 31, 2005 to submit your
completed paper to us.  Your paper will be published in the NAB Broadcast
Engineering Conference Proceedings and you will receive a complimentary
