The Alabama Broadcasters Association will provide funding for 20 broadcasters to attend NAB meetings in Las Vegas during October, 2021.

The ABA is allotting $2,500 for each person to cover airfare, meeting registration and hotel accommodations*. Any expenses beyond this amount will be the responsibility of the broadcaster.


The ABA will conduct a drawing on
Friday, April 30th to select attendees.

  • To be eligible for the drawing, you must have been employed by one or more Alabama radio or television stations for a minimum of three years of combined employment.

  • Your current employer must be an ABA member station.

  • Your department manager or station manager must send an email to [email protected], submitting your name for the drawing.

  • Separately, you must send an email to [email protected] outlining what you hope to learn from attending the NAB meetings.

Only persons who have met the criteria and requirements by 4pm, Friday, April 30th will be included in the drawing.

Broadcasters who are selected will register for the NAB meeting of their choice and make their own airline and hotel reservations. You will be reimbursed for meeting registration and airfare upon making your reservations. Hotel receipts will be reimbursed upon your return. Again, the maximum allotment per person is $2,500.

*Accommodations in Las Vegas vary widely. Your hotel choice will determine how many nights will be covered under the ABA's $2,500 total allotment.
