SHOWCASE
Also at NRB 2020, you can increase your exposure significantly by taking advantage of all the opportunities that could be available to you.
If, for example, you have content you want to get out, you’ll be able to connect directly with broadcasting stations and networks, publishers, and companies that specialize in distribution, licensing, consulting, PR, marketing, and syndication.
If you have a screenplay, book, or complete media project, you can get the chance to pitch them one-on-one, face-to-face with a distribution company or two at the NRB Pitch-a-thon.
Those with TV programs can enter them in NRB’s TV Showcase to get noticed by network program directors and station managers.
Those looking for their next employer can post their resume on the Job Board.
And those looking to be interviewed by the press will have many to choose from at NRB 2020.
We could go on and on with everything that takes place during Convention, but you really need to come see for yourself.
So, if you haven’t made plans to join us, do so now. And if you are planning to join us, tell a friend and look forward to an amazing time at NRB 2020!
