IMDA was at 2011 NAB Show

April 20th, 2011

Our main goal for the Show was to introduce our work to the US broadcaster audience; we accomplished this goal through conference attendance, our PIT sessions, and presence at the IMDA booth.

In a show dominated by TV, it was great to see the amount of interest and support we got around radio.  We had a standing room only series of PIT sessions and steady traffic at the Booth.  We would like to express our thanks to everyone who came by to visit us.

Our gratitude to the NAB for inviting us to participate and providing the space for us.
