Annual Convention @ NAB Show
For over 60 years the BEA has worked with the National Association of Broadcasters in creating the next generation of media professionals. BEA’s annual convention has been a major part of this endeavor. BEA brings in educators each year and they descend upon the NAB Show floor to see first-hand the latest and greatest tools and technology needed to teach students.
Each year, schools direct BEA members to come to Vegas, either to spend the remainder of that year’s money or find the products to help teach the current technologies and techniques that they will buy in the fall with new funds. Most of our member schools have technology fees that students pay each year that can only be spent on technology and products for that department.
BEA’s annual convention attracts 1,200 educators and students with 200+ sessions, events and an exhibit hall, making us the NAB Show’s largest conference partner.
BEA Festival of Media Arts
The BEA Festival of Media Arts is an international juried creative competition open to faculty and students. Top winners in each competition receive a $1,000 cash award in addition to recognition and exhibition of their work during the Best of Festival Awards Ceremony at BEA’s annual convention in Las Vegas.
Sponsorships run from $3,000-15,000
For over 20 years the Festival has been “The Showcase” for over 1,650 annual entries from over 300 different institutions. Separate competitions for faculty and students cover the range from dramatic narratives, through non-fiction documentary and news to the frontiers of interactive multimedia.
