The NAB Show floor will feature some of the world’s leading brands and companies, as well as first-time exhibitors and innovation zones showcasing the most cutting-edge technology advancements for media and entertainment. The 2023 NAB Show will run April 15–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
More than 1,000 companies, including more than 140 first-time exhibitors, will debut new products and offer first looks at trailblazing technologies through interactive exhibits and live demonstrations. Exhibitors are expected to occupy more than 575,000 net square feet of exhibits space organized by distinct destinations throughout the LVCC’s North, Central and West halls.
“Companies, large and small, are turning out en masse to exhibit at NAB Show, including more than a few that skipped last year’s show,” says Chris Brown, NAB executive vice president and managing director of Global Connections and Events. “Exhibit sales are already nearly 20 percent ahead of where we ended up in 2022. This is a testament to the power of tradeshows to unite the industry, create connections and generate commerce. We are thrilled to see the tremendous momentum established at the 2022 event translating to healthy growth, excitement and what promises to be an incredible showing of the latest and greatest tech and some of the most influential companies on the planet.”
