Learn something.<\/h4>\n<p>You can do this in a variety of ways.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.movingpicture.com\/nab-2019-the-complete-recap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NAB has all kinds of experts there<\/a>. Go to a booth. Ask a great question and you\u2019re going to get a great, great answer. I guarantee it.<\/p>\n<h4>Number 2. Focus on fun at the NAB show<\/h4>\n<p>And you will not have a disappointing trip and absolutely keep an eye out for the booth girls.<\/p>\n<h4>Number 3. Hey, maybe look at some gear?<\/h4>\n<p>Then get pissed off about gear you should have bought last year that would have paid for itself by now and then some!\u00a0 \u00a0Or, rejoice that you didn\u2019t buy it, because the same thing came out a week after NAB and was much cheaper\u2026 and a lot better!<\/p>\n<h4>Number 4. Some practical things.<\/h4>\n<p>A power bank and charging cable for your phone. Somehow there are very few AC outlets at NAB.\u00a0 My favorite is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moshi.com\/en\/product\/ionslim-5k\/titanium-gray\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moshi IonSlim 5K<\/a>, $50+ bucks on Amazon.\u00a0 Its only 8mm thick and will charge your iPhone twice. Better carry protein bars, a really great idea. Also, you want to head for lunch at 11:15. You can save an entire hour. The lines for lunch are insane.<\/p>\n<h4>Number 5. Do you know how to identify the smartest person at NAB?<\/h4>\n<p>Look at their shoes.\u00a0 A dude can be in a suit and tie with comfortable running shoes that don\u2019t match his suit in any way shape or form.\u00a0 That\u2019s the smartest guy in the room.<\/p>\n<h4>Number 6. Fine dining and drinking ridiculously expensive wine.<\/h4>\n<p>This has to be one of my favorite things to do and the best way to spend a grand or more in 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<h4>Number 7.\u00a0 When you arrive Las Vegas, go for a run or hike in the desert.<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redrockcanyonlv.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Red Rock Canyon National Conversation Area<\/a> is just 20 minutes from the strip.\u00a0 You\u2019re in a different world out there! Or, visit Mount Charleston ski area and go for a hike or run!<\/p>\n<h4>Number 8. See old friends, and hang out at the pool.<\/h4>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be at the show all the time. Or, go to the Las Vegas Speedway to race cars.\u00a0 Yes! You can pay by the lap and drive the half million dollar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamracing.com\/the-lamborghini-huracan-supertrofeo-driving-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lambo Huracan GT car<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Take a chance.
