About the NBT Media Tour

Creating
the next best thing

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude for all those who have invested their time and talents in making the NBT Media Tour successful. Without this network of wonderful people, the tour bus would have never have left the backyard.

We look forward to another year of bringing The Next Best Thing to you in 2021. See you on the road!

In 2020...

everyone was challenged personally and professionally – and the challenge isn’t completely over yet. We have had to evaluate our strategies for connecting with customers and networking within the industry. We remembered a time when Larry Bloomfield would take the show on the road and thought that this would be an opportunity to revitalize the concept. From 2002-2010 Larry traveled the continental US with the “Taste of NAB”. He always said that nothing could replace a hands-on experience and there have been too few opportunities to see equipment or software operating in-person. A tour can also afford smaller markets to attend, who do not necessarily have the funds to send a representative to the yearly conventions. The Next Best Thing: A Media Tour aims to present at outdoor, smaller audiences, mostly in conjunction with SBE meetings, while also inviting other media personnel in the area to attend.
