The 8K Association revealed Wednesday that it is planning a number of strategic events throughout the year aimed at building availability and awareness of native 8K video content.

In one of its first actions of 2023, the Association will be participating in both panel discussions and technical demonstrations at the upcoming EnTech Fest 2023 and the NAB Show, the group said.

Under the theme “8K – Leading the Way,” the multi-industry Assocaition said it will be highlighting the wide range of 8K content projects currently being developed, along with the number of leading companies and creators who are driving this high-resolution, big-screen content ecosystem.

Mike Fidler, the recently appointed 8K Association executive director, said: “One of the goals of the 8K Association is to educate and excite the trade about the wide range of 8K content initiatives that are already underway. Our participation in well-known events like EnTech Fest and NAB will enable us to bring more awareness to these projects, along with the leading executives and companies behind them”.
