Look Back at BEA2025
Thank you to everyone for making BEA2025 a success! Our tremendous line-up included over 250 events and sessions, a Research Symposium dedicated to information overload or infoxication, small group conversations with top media executives, award-winning cinematographer Alice Brooks, NAB Show Tours, poster sessions, packed receptions, and a magical Festival of Media Arts and the induction of our second AERho class. We celebrated scholars and BEA volunteers, received news and information from our Student MMJ team, participated in engaging division Meet & Greets, made connections with many new and returning exhibitors, and hosted the largest career fair in our industry.
Thank you to our sponsors, Ross Video, Routledge Taylor & Frances, Connect2, RAB, University of Alabama, LABF, Total Traffic & Weather Network, Digital Video Group, ARwall, RTDNA, & AbelCine. And thank you to all our BEA2025 exhibitors and Grad School & Career Fair participants! We appreciate your support of higher education!
