NAB 2023 in the Rearview Mirror

Cobalt collects record-breaking leads, multiple awards, and Suzana Brady is named
Women in Technology Futurist - and then there's the new products...
eading to Las Vegas, none of
us were 100% confident
that
NAB 2023 would be a success. We
were happy with last year's results,
but the pandemic was still a major
worry in 2022, and there was talk
that Trade Shows would never be the
same.
Well, NAB 2023 was nothing short
of fantastic for Cobalt Digital. Trade
Shows may have evolved, but this
year's NAB was proof that they are
not going anywhere. We had a recordbreaking
number of visitors to the
booth, added another four awards to
our trophy cabinet, and our own SVP
of Worldwide Sales and Marketing,
Suzana Brady, was honored with a
Women in Technology Futurist Award.
There is no one more deserving, we
are so proud of her.
We brought a powerful
portfolio of new and
recently
