The 2023 NAB Show, held from April 15 to 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada, marked the centennial celebration of this prominent conference dedicated to the broadcast, entertainment, and media sectors.
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) reported an attendance figure of 65,013 for the 2023 event, which served as both a platform for showcasing cutting-edge audiovisual technology and a marketplace for the next generation of media solutions.
Curtis LeGyt, CEO and President of the NAB Show, expressed excitement about the significant turnout, stating, “We are delighted to welcome exhibitors, attendees, and partners from across the globe to Las Vegas to commemorate 100 years of innovation. This year's event is particularly energized, with participants engaging on various levels, from the show floor to special sessions.” Over the years, the NAB Show has consistently attracted content providers, producers, and industry professionals from all corners of the broadcasting, media, and entertainment landscape, providing a vital platform for learning, networking, and business development.
Looking ahead, the 2024 NAB Show is scheduled for April 13-17 (with exhibits open April 14-17) at the Las Vegas Convention Center, promising to explore emerging trends such as artificial intelligence, streaming platforms, virtual production, live events, the creator economy, and advertising.
As an annual event organized by the National Association of Broadcasters, the NAB Show has been a fixture at the Las Vegas Convention Center since 1991, earning its reputation as the premier destination “Where Content Comes to Life.”
The NAB Show is renowned as the largest gathering for professionals in the media, entertainment, and technology industries, encompassing a wide range of sectors including broadcast TV, radio, production, streaming, cybersecurity, and more.
In addition to its role as a leading industry expo, the NAB also serves as a vital advocacy association for broadcasters in the United States, championing their interests in legislative, regulatory, and public affairs arenas. Through advocacy efforts, educational initiatives, and innovative programs, the NAB empowers broadcasters to better serve their communities, drive business growth, and seize opportunities in the digital age.
