This year both Apple and Avid, two very large multimedia companies, have decided to pull out of the NAB 2008 tradeshow in Las Vegas. They site the diminishing relevance of tradeshows as viable sales producers.

Because NAB 2008 will now be a very different environment for us and many other multimedia companies, we have decided to also not attend the tradeshow. We are sorry if you expected to meet up with our staff at the show, but we find we can more effectively perform personal demos and send out rental/test units for potential customers instead of standing around a booth at NAB. This is a much more targeted and personal approach, which makes our customers, and our potential customers, very happy.

If you have any questions about our products or wish to discuss demos, please contact us directly at sales@wiredinc.com. And thanks for all your support of Wired products.
