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.

A Sad note...

Sad news to our community: A member of our Chapter, Kenton Sturdevant, passed away this week. Many of us knew him for his decades long career as a communication coordinator for Forest industries, Silke Communications and as a member of the Ham radio community, K7BQ. As a friend and colleague to many of us, he will be sorely missed.

The MaxxKonnect Group is a Full-Service Broadcast Technical Firm with offices in Alabama, Maryland, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas.

Topic:

What I Had to Learn (and So Do You): Growing Beyond Traditional Broadcast Engineering

Who:

Kirk Harnack of MaxxKonnect
Kirk will be talking with us via a remote meeting service.

Legal backside covering:
Most of the time we just call these Zoom® meetings, but that's a bit like calling all photocopiers Xerox® machines - the copyright/trademark owners don't like it.
