NAB 2011: Free exhibit pass and discount on sessions

It's getting close to NAB 2011, the premier U.S. technology and business conference for broadcasters, videographers and Internet media producers, which will be held in Las Vegas from April 9th through the 14th. Conference sessions will run from April 9th to 14th, and exhibits will be open from April 11th to 14th. NAB is offering some special deals for "Feldman File" readers:

• You can attend the exhibits for free by clicking this link, or go to the main registration page and use code SM01.
• You can also save $100 on an all-access SMART Pass, a Conference Flex Pass, which gives you access to all Conferences except Post|Production world, or Post|Production world itself, by clicking this link or going to the main registration page and using the code SM08.

There are still hotel rooms and flights available for the event, but you should book soon to insure getting a hotel that's convenient to the Convention Center and Las Vegas Strip. Also, you'll save a lot of time and money if you stay at a hotel that's near one of the Las Vegas Monorail stations.

If you're visiting the exhibits only, give yourself at least one full day to get through all three exhibit halls (if you're well-organized and are willing to do some running). If you want to take your time, two or three days are best.
