SBE turns 40

The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) will celebrate its 40th birthday during NAB2004 in Las Vegas, NV.

The organization, which started as a gathering of approximately 100 broadcast engineers at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago during the 1964 NAB Convention, has grown to more than 5,500 members in 107 chapters today.

SBE members attending NAB2004 are invited to celebrate SBE's 40th birthday during the SBE Membership Meeting at 5 p.m., Tuesday, April 20, in Room N110 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The first 100 members in attendance will receive a commemorative SBE 40th anniversary memento. There will be door prizes including a digital camera to a lucky winner. Non-members are also welcome to attend.
