Want to see what goes on behind the scenes at a local TV station? For the first time, we are offering a tour of KLAS-TV in Vegas, which is a short walk from the West Conference Hall. Bring comfy shoes and lots of questions! We leave the West Hall promptly at 3 from the Career Fair. The KLAS news director will lead the tour, featuring a live newscast, and a live look from both the studio and the control room. We’ll meet and greet other newsroom staffers along the way to get your questions answered. This is for both students and faculty BEA members. Space is limited to 20, so sign up early or be among the first 20 in line to be on the tour!

Grass Valley BEA members will meet with John Lyth and Greg Doggett while visiting the Grass Valley booth at NAB 2026 will be able to evaluate how industry‑standard tools can support the structure and outcomes of modern media programs. The LDX 100 camera range and K‑Frame switchers, widely used across the world's most prestigious events, provide a clear benchmark for what students should learn on to be job‑ready. The booth tour will highlight how these systems map directly to today’s technical, production, and live‑sports curricula, helping institutions shape programs that reflect real‑world workflows. The tour will also introduce educators to Grass Valley’s AMPP platform and its relevance for curriculum design in an era of software‑defined production. AMPP’s flexible, scalable environment allows programs to teach cloud, hybrid, and remote production models without heavy capital investment. For institutions designing future‑focused courses or looking to expand production capabilities across multiple departments or campuses, AMPP offers a practical way to embed modern workflow concepts into academic programs.
