NAB Show 2026
Registration is now open for NAB Show 2026, and if you're serious about staying ahead in broadcast, video production, content creation or media technology, this is the event that should be on your calendar.
Taking place April 18-22, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (exhibits run April 19-22), NAB Show has been the industry's flagship event for over a century. This year promises to be particularly significant as the show spotlights the transformative technologies reshaping how we create, distribute and monetize content.
What Makes 2026 Different:
The Las Vegas Convention Center has completed major renovations, offering attendees a completely reimagined campus experience with improved lighting, contemporary finishes and better sightlines throughout the facility.
This year's show is doubling down on the technologies and trends that matter most right now: artificial intelligence and media asset protection, streaming platforms, sports innovation, the creator economy, and cloud-based workflows. Whether you're a one-person creator or part of a major broadcast team, these are the conversations that will define your next year of work.
The Sports Summit has expanded to four full days, exploring everything from production technology to how athletes are building their own media companies. The Creator Lab has also been significantly enlarged, recognizing that the lines between traditional broadcast and creator-driven content continue to blur.
Who You'll Find There:
The exhibitor list reads like a who's-who of media technology: AWS, Blackmagic, Google, Microsoft and Sony are all confirmed, alongside hundreds of other vendors showcasing solutions across the entire production workflow. From camera technology and audio systems to cloud infrastructure and AI-powered editing tools, if it's shaping the future of media, it'll be on the show floor.
The Business of Media and Entertainment conference, presented in partnership with The Ankler, brings together top dealmakers, executives and creative leaders for candid conversations about the forces reshaping the industry's business models.
Plan Ahead:
A new NAB Show mobile app launches in March to help you navigate the massive event, plan your schedule, connect with exhibitors and optimize your time on the ground. The hotel reservation block deadline is March 16, 2026, so early planning pays off.
For professionals in video production, broadcast, audio engineering and content creation, NAB Show represents an unmatched opportunity to see where the industry is heading, make connections with global leaders, and return home with insights and relationships that will shape your work for the year ahead.
With the show just a few months away, now is the time to start planning. Whether you're looking to upgrade your production capabilities, explore new revenue models, or simply understand where the industry is moving, NAB Show 2026 is where those answers live.
