The NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) Show is the premier event for media and entertainment professionals around the world. This year’s show has proven to be a huge success, with a preliminary registered attendance of 65,013, representing a nearly 20% increase over last year’s headcount of 52,468… turning out 17,466 international attendees (up from 11,542 in 2022) and featuring 166 exhibiting companies on the show floor.
The NAB Show is the ultimate destination for media and entertainment professionals who want to keep up with the latest industry trends, tools, and technologies. It offers a unique opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their latest innovations, connect with potential clients, and network with other industry professionals. This year’s NAB was no exception, as attendees and exhibitors came together to celebrate 100 years of innovation in the industry.
“We are thrilled to have so many exhibitors, attendees and partners from around the world join us in Las Vegas to help celebrate 100 years of innovation. More than any other year, everyone is filled with so much enthusiasm and energy as they engage on the show floor, in special sessions and throughout the entire event,” said Curtis LeGeyt, NAB President and CEO.
The NAB Show is known for its dynamic exhibit floor, where companies of all sizes showcase their latest technologies and products. Attendees had the opportunity to see the latest advancements in everything from content creation and management to distribution and delivery. The show also featured a wide range of educational sessions, panel discussions, and keynotes from industry leaders, offering insights and inspiration on the latest trends and issues in the media and entertainment industry.
While this year’s show was a huge success, it still lags significantly behind the 2019 NAB Show, which had a registered attendance of 91,460. However, this year’s attendance figures are still impressive, especially given the ongoing “post” COVID-19 effects. The fact that so many international attendees were able to join the event is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the media and entertainment industry.
Looking forward, NAB has announced that the next NAB Show will be held April 13-17, 2024, in Las Vegas. This will give exhibitors and attendees alike plenty of time to prepare for another amazing event.
In conclusion, the 2023 NAB Show was a huge success, bringing together media and entertainment professionals from around the world to celebrate 100 years of innovation in the industry. With a year-to-year rise in attendance, the show proved once again to be the ultimate destination for anyone looking to stay on top of the latest trends, tools, and technologies in the industry. We can’t wait to see what the next NAB Show has in store!
