Meetings
Chapter 76, Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE), generally meets on the Thursday after the second Tuesday of each month. The date rarely varies from this formula. This keeps the meeting towards the middle of every month.
You do not need to be a member of the SBE to attend these meetings, nor do you have to be a member of the local broadcast community. As long as the topic of the meeting is of interest to you, you're invited. If you see that a given month is “Reserved” for an exhibitor, it means simply that. Additional details of meetings are posted here as soon as they're available.

What:
Real Radio Hosts Working Virtually
How Real Humans Work with Containerized Broadcast Systems
Radio broadcasters have been anticipating their eventual deployment
of virtualized broadcast software as part or most of their studio
and backend infrastructure. A few radio stations and radio networks
have already moved to a largely virtualized infrastructure while
others are in the process now. The virtues of virtualization have
been the topic of several dozen professional presentations ranging
from manufacturers' revelations to scholarly presentations.
With some systems on-air now, it's time to ask, "What is working
differently or the same - for broadcast engineers and for on-air
talent?"
This SBE Chapter presentation asks that question and presents
answers from broadcast engineers, broadcast IT professionals, and
on-air talent.
