A small but dedicated group of Broadcast Engineers of India felt the necessity of projecting the interests of Broadcast Engineers at national and international level. They decided to promote the advancement, dissemination of knowledge and practice in the field of Broadcasting and related sciences. Their determination finally came as the establishment of Broadcast Engineering Society in 1987 when it got registered with the Registrar of Societies, Delhi Administration on 8th April 1987.
To achieve its goals with the specific aims & objectives, the dedicated members of the Society started organising, seminars/lectures/workshops/symposium, which gained momentum, and more and more fellow broadcast engineers joined hands. With the keen interest and sincerity of members, not only the membership base of the society widened but also the Society could become an International body, which now organises an international event, popularly known as BES EXPO, every year. This event which is generally held every Feb at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi gives the broadcast professionals of India, irrespective of their post and designation to witness the latest art of state technology in the field of broadcasting.
