    NAB Show today announced the recipients of the newly launched Excellence in Sustainability Awards during a live awards ceremony on April 16 at the 2023 NAB Show in Las Vegas. The awards recognize individuals, organizations, and products/services for outstanding innovations in media technology that promote conservation and reusability of natural resources and foster economic and social development.
