“The Top Techs panel is always a major highlight of the NewsTECHForum in that it brings together broadcast’s leading technologists for a wide-ranging and frank discussion of the industry’s most pressing issues,” said Harry A. Jessell, TVNewsCheck’s editor and co-founder. “With major dynamics like the cloud, ATSC 3.0 and artificial intelligence’s growing role looming over us, these discussions are even more urgent.”

The NewsTECHForum will gather engineers who are already implementing or working with these technologies in the newsroom to talk about their experiences. The event will provide an opportunity for engineering managers from networks and station groups to exchange information and to begin to chart their course forward.
